Negative Space is a collection of Manny Farber's most influential writings, one of the most important critics in movie history. Farber championed the American action film, the bravado of Howard Hawks, the art brut styling of Samuel Fuller, and the crafty, sordid entertainments of Don Siegel, at a time when other critics dismissed the genre. His witty, incisive criticism later worked exacting language into an exploration of the feelings and strategies that went into low-budget and radical films as diverse as Michael Snow's Wavelength, Werner Herzog's Fata Morgana, and Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman. Expanded with an in-depth interview and seven essays written with his wife, artist Patricia Patterson, Negative Space gathers Farber's most influential writings, making this an indispensable collection for all lovers of film.
