Manny Farber 1919-2008
The great film critic Manny Farber (above left, on the set with Godard) passed away in his sleep yesterday at 91. Larger thoughts to come, but for now here's a very nice overview of this hugely influential man's legacy from Movie City Indie. Glenn Kenny also lays the flowers down with aplomb. That there's no longer any Manny Farber is sad; sadder still is that there's no longer any place in popular culture for the way he could wring savage meaning from a movie.
