As provided by the late great British critic for Sight and Sound (1992, 1982) and John Kobal’s (1987) polls, also an earlier selection from 1969.
Ray Durgnat (Wikipedia).
Durgnat’s book Films and Feelings was chosen by Jonathan Rosenbaum as one of his 5 favourite film books in the latest Sight and Sound. Also chosen in the poll was Durgnat on Film. In addition, i would recommend 2 books i’ve read by him- Jean Renoir, and W.R.Mysteries of the Organism (BFI Classics series).
I felt honoured to briefly write for the same world cinema magazine as he did before he died.
