Synopsis

Film critic Pauline Kael critiques some films in her book, "When the Lights Go Down: Film Writings, 1975-1980". Kael also talks about seeing the people's faces when they exit a movie, knowing they did not receive the experience they had hoped for. The trend of films, explained Kael, is to return to a type of blandness.
