Refreshingly free of postmodernist theorizing and gender-study cant.
01/23/03
Top CriticA smart and moving documentary.
01/24/03
Martina Kudlacek's engrossing film study does a service to the film world by reminding everyone that there are filmmakers who make films as art.
10/07/03
A visually and spiritually rewarding documentary.
01/19/03
Not only celebrates Deren's cinematic legacy but also reveals a gifted talent whose explosive temperament was at odds with the lyrical, dreamlike imagery she put on screen.
05/16/03
Top CriticA long overdue documentary portrait of one of our most important avant-garde filmmakers.
02/05/03
A well-wrought introduction not just to Deren but an under-leveraged chunk of the art world.
01/21/03
Top CriticIntimidated by the words 'avant-garde film'? Then hand yourself over, without reservation, to the skills of documentarian Martina Kudlacek and her astonishingly accessible primer, In the Mirror of Maya Deren.
02/14/03
Better late than never, In the Mirror of Maya Deren reminds us of what a treasure Deren was and gives us just enough of a taste to make us want more.
05/23/03
It does such a terrific job of showing us what Deren was like that it makes even the notion of a biopic about her seem unnecessary, if not ridiculous.
11/01/03
Top CriticIt's the included portions of Deren's films that are the best part of In the Mirror of Maya Deren.
01/24/03
should be required viewing for any student of film
01/26/03
Kudlacek's film includes interviews with a fascinating cross-section of Deren's contemporaries, as well as generous excerpts from her films.
01/23/03
A truly superb documentary on the life of pioneering avant-garde filmmaker Maya Deren.
