Pauline Kael (National Book award winner) discusses contemporary films and her recent publications. Much of the conversation is focused on Stanley Kubrick's work and the role of violence in movies.

Film critics Molly Haskell and Andrew Sarris offer their opinions on various films. Some time is spent covering how films have stereotyped women. In these films, women can not survive without a man in her life. Sarris explains he knew stupid people previously made stupid films. It saddens him to know that intelligent people of today are making stupid films. An excerpt of an interview with Buster Keaton is included.
