Andrew Sarris
Edit
Member of the 'Official Competition' jury at the 37th Venice International Film Festival in 1980.
Film critic, the "Village Voice" and the "New York Observer".
Film historian and author.
He became, as he grew older, increasingly concerned with the humanist content of films over technical excellence, eventually coming to believe, for instance, that
The Magnificent Ambersons (1942)
is a better
Orson Welles
film than
Citizen Kane (1941)
, and naming
The Apartment (1960)
as the best film of 1960 over
Psycho (1960)
, which he had initially nominated in that category.
Husband of fellow film critic
Molly Haskell
, each, at one time, the film critic at The Village Voice.
