Dave Kehr's writing about film has garnered high praise from both readers and fellow
critics. Among his admirers are some of his most influential contemporaries. Roger
Ebert called Kehr "one of the most gifted film critics in America." James Naremore
thought he was "one of the best writers on film the country as a whole has ever produced."
But aside from remarkably detailed but brief capsule reviews and top-ten lists, you
won't find much of Kehr's work on the Internet, and many of the longer and more nuanced
essays for which he is best known have not yet been published in book form. With When
Movies Mattered, readers welcomed the first collection of Kehr's criticism, written
during his time at the Chicago Reader. Movies That Mattered is its sequel, with fifty
more reviews and essays drawn from the archives of both the Chicago Reader and Chicago
magazine from 1974 to 1986. As with When Movies Mattered, the majority of the reviews
offer in-depth analyses of individual films that are among Kehr's favorites, from
a thoughtful discussion of the sobering Holocaust documentary Shoah to an irresistible
celebration of the raucous comedy Used Cars. But fans of Kehr's work will be just
as taken by his dissections of critically acclaimed films he found disappointing,
including The Shining, Apocalypse Now, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Whether you're
a long-time reader or just discovering Dave Kehr, the insights in Movies That Mattered
will enhance your appreciation of the movies you already love--and may even make you
think twice about one or two you hated
