Richard Schickel

    10 februari 1933 – 18 februari 2017

    Richard Schickel was een belangrijke Amerikaanse filmhistoricus en criticus wiens werk diep indook in de geschiedenis en evolutie van de Amerikaanse cinema. Hij daagde vaak gevestigde kritische benaderingen uit en analyseerde de verschuivende sociale en morele houdingen die de filmproductie beïnvloedden. Zijn geschriften en documentaires verkenden niet alleen film, maar ook andere vormen van populaire cultuur, zoals tekenfilms. Schickels bijdrage ligt in zijn inzichtelijke kijk op filmkritiek en de rol ervan in de samenleving.

      Richard Schickel traces in fascinating detail the genesis of the film: its literary origins in the crime fiction of the 1930s, the difficult relations between Wilder and his scriptwriter Raymond Chandler, the casting of a reluctant Fred MacMurray, the late decision to cut from the film the expensively shot final sequence of Neff's execution.
