  Wellesnet: French/Rosenbaum Interview 1
JONATHAN ROSENBAUM: Well, he is. And although Oja authorized that version of DON QUIXOTE, she didn't see what they had done to it, until after it was finished.
JONATHAN ROSENBAUM: I don't think so, but I'm not in communication with her, so I don't know what goes through her mind, or through Thomas White's mind, except for the things I hear them say don't suggest a close acquaintance with any of the issues about her father's work, or about any of the particulars.
JONATHAN ROSENBAUM: I also noticed that Stanley Kauffman said the re-edited version is better, but he seemed to be under the impression that the only version available before this was the 93 minute release version.

 Johns Hopkins University Press | Books | Essential Cinema
Rosenbaum, an enormously erudite and deeply reflective viewer unbeholden to academic norms and taboos, is ideally positioned to propose a canon of great works.
Jonathan Rosenbaum's Essential Cinema performs both tasks brilliantly, at the same time giving us a bracing series of essays on the artistic, political, and entertainment value of individual films and film makers.
Jonathan Rosenbaum is film critic for the Chicago Reader and the author or editor of fourteen books, including Movie Wars: How Hollywood and the Media Limit What Films We Can See, Movies as Politics, and Placing Movies: The Practice of Film Criticism.

 Jonathan Rosenbaum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Rosenbaum is the author of many books on film, including "Film: The Front Line 1983" (1983), "Placing Movies: The Practice of Film Criticism" (1995), "Moving Places: A Life at the Movies" (reprint 1995), "Movies as Politics" (1997) and "Essential Cinema" (2004).
As Jonathan Rosenbaum and Adrian Martin show in this wide-ranging look at World Cinema, directors like Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Tsai Ming-liang are now making extraordinary films equal to the great classics, previously unrecognized works from the past are being discovered, and new boundaries for the genre are being explored.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, longtime contributor to such publications as Film Quarterly, Sight and Sound, and The Village Voice, is arguably the most eloquent, insightful film critic writing in America today.

 kamera.co.uk - book review - Movie Mutations - The Changing Face of World Cinephilia by Jonathan Rosenbaum & Adrian ...
Rosenbaum and Martin's premise is that film distribution, education and technology are prompting a new era of cinephilia.
Rosenbaum wrote Movie Wars, that indignant critique of contemporary film distribution and criticism apathetic before a potpourri of international imagery.
That indignation persists in Rosenbaum's angry account of Iranian director Jafar Panahi, caught up in post-9/11 paranoia and deported from America in chains while en route to film festivals set to honour him.

 Movies as Politics -- Jonathan Rosenbaum
Jonathan Rosenbaum is the film critic at the Chicago Reader and the author of several books on the cinema.
"Rosenbaum is one of the few film reviewers with a deep understanding of film form, its sources in film history and theory, and even more its place as a twentieth-century art form.
When Rosenbaum places films in a political context his approach is broad enough to avoid simplification.

 [ Nostalghia.com | The Topics :: Roger Ebert and Jonathan Rosenbaum on Tarkovsky ]
Since Roger Ebert appeared unwilling to comment further on his own Weinstein remark, we thought it reasonable to ask Jonathan Rosenbaum to comment on it instead.
From: Jonathan Rosenbaum To: Nostalghia.com Subject: Tarkovsky/Weinstein Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 13:47:42 -0600 It's too bad.
Furthermore, without suggesting any conspiracy theory, I don't think the fact that Disney produces Roger's TV show is entirely irrelevant to such a conclusion — especially because Miramax, owned by Disney, already determines which of the films it controls that Roger can review on the show by deciding what clips to make available.

 Like Anna Karina's Sweater: On Jonathan Rosenbaum and Looney Tunes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
For those who aren't familiar with him, Jonathan Rosenbaum has been a film critic for decades, and is considered by many (including Jean-Luc Godard) to be one of America's greatest film critics.
Rosenbaum can be a bit of a conundrum sometimes though, as you say, he is always interesting to follow and I agree with many if not most films on his list of "recommended films".
I agree that Rosenbaum tends to be comically over-loyal to pets like Dante (rather akin to Kael's DePalma crush), but--in the case of A.I--to suggest that he's going soft because he likes films Filmbrain hates strikes me as a flimsy basis for judgment.

 Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Essential Critic: Essential Cinema: On the Necessity of Film Canons by Jonathan Rosenbaum
Jonathan Rosenbaum's Essential Cinema: On the Necessity of Film Canons (Baltimore and London: Johns Hopkins University, 2004), takes a canonical view of cinema, asserting the importance of canons or critically selected works as an imperative process towards a deeper understanding of the seventh art.
Rosenbaum is effectively making a plea for internationalism, pointing out that America is becoming more nationalistic and that many of its intellectuals (film critics included) are going along for the ride in the nationalism rollercoaster driven by the media-industrial complex.
Rosenbaum can be just as good a formalist critic as he is a journalistic one, as proven by his analysis of Robert Altman “Improvisations and Interactions in Altmanville”, surely a seminal text for anyone wishing to understand that director's aesthetics.

Rosenbaum is, for my money, the best film critic out there.
His original essay on "Dead Man" led me to take another look at the film, which has since become one of my all-time favorite movies.
Rosenbaum mixes his own thoughtful analysis with excerpts from various interviews he conducted with Jarmusch to illuminate the many aspects of the film: from Neil Young's haunting soundtrack, to the role of tobacco, to its place in the acid western genre.

Convertido a sus sesenta y tantos años en una suerte de gurú para varias generaciones de cinéfilos, Rosenbaum lleva tres décadas empeñado en una cruzada en pos de la difusión del cine realizado fuera de Hollywood y por el uso de la crítica como riguroso instrumento de análisis, y no como mera herramienta publicitaria.
A lo largo de su carrera en diversos medios, Rosenbaum se ha hecho la fama -según algunos, mala fama- de celebrar a directores virtualmente desconocidos.

Their carefully documented, clearly written study provides valuable information about the institutional history of Hartford's Jewish community, and is a useful reference for anyone studying this medium-sized New England city.
However, the authors dispense with it in a few brief passages, preferring to devote most of their time to the individual histories of the Jewish synagogues and organizations that arose in the suburbs.
Dalin and Rosenbaum have produced an important addition to the limited historiography of Hartford, a detailed and scrupulously documented work which far surpasses the previous study by Morris Silverman.

Jonathan Rosenbaum views Dead Man as both a quantum leap and a logical next step in Jarmusch's career, and as a film that speaks powerfully to present-day concerns.
Starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer, and with startling cameos by Robert Mitchum, John Hurt, and Iggy Pop, Dead Man is by turns shocking, comic, and deeply moving.

Using examples ranging from the "New York Times"'s coverage of the Cannes film festival to the anticommercial practices of Orson Welles, Movie Wars details the workings of the powerful forces that are in the process of ruining our precious cinematic culture and heritage, and the counterforces that have begun to fight back.
In this argument, author Jonathan Rosenbaum asserts that film studios, critics, and advertisers have formed a cartel that controls the types of films that are made and released to the public.
Feeling that the vast selection of American movies lacks diversity, he reasons that movie-goers have no control over which types of movies they watch.
