Dwelling on the many film journalists made redundant at newspapers, magazines, and other 'old media' in past years, commentators have voiced existential questions about the purpose and worth of the profession in the age of WordPress blogospheres and proclaimed the 'death of the critic'. Bemoaning the current anarchy of internet amateurs and the lack of authoritative critics, many journalists and academics claim that in the digital age, cultural commentary has become dumbed down and fragmented into niche markets. Mattias Freu, arguing against these claims, examines the history of film critical discourse in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. He demonstrates that since its origins, film criticism has always found itself in crisis: the need to show critical authority and the anxieties over challenges to that authority have been longstanding concerns. 410 0$aFilm theory in media history. 606 $aFilm criticism 606 $aMotion pictures$vJournalists 606 $aJournalism$vMotion pictures 610 $aFilm criticism, critical authority, digital, journalism, historical analysis, new media. 615 0$aFilm criticism. 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aJournalism 676 $a791.4 700 $aFrey$b Mattias$0849282 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bAuAdUSA 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996496569403316 996 $aThe permanent crisis of film criticism$92127866 997 $aUNISA
