John Simon on Harold Pinter, Joseph Losey and John Simon

[atravis01]

John Simon: what a pompous ass. And what could be more nauseating than watching film reviewers fawn over one of their own? Pinter and Losey were artists who enriched the world. Simon is a parasite.

I think Harold Pinter and Joseph Losey where merely trying to get across the idea that interpretation should be in the audience's hands, it is not the writer's place to tell the audience what the story is about or what its meaning is.

John Simon totally rules. 50 years of brilliance.

Thanks a lot for posting this, Pinter and Losey (and Sarris, too) are big favorites of mine.
