I don't know what this means, except I assume it has something to do with Pauline Kael? Did she not like Lean's epics? I've only read a few of her writings, as I pretty much have zero need for film critics. I don't recall ever agreeing with a single word she ever wrote. She always came off like someone who was desperate to be considered cool. Her reviews never convinced me that she even saw the picture she was reviewing.
Well, Pauline seemed to me to be an often pompous, grumpy old maid who seemed to dislike most films except those made by her favorite directors (De Palma, etc.) Nevertheless, I bought all of her books and found her writings provocative and entertaining.
