Pauline Kael is one of my heroes. She was the one who helped me fall in love with film, and when I was 20 I used to leave screenings and walk home alone holding imaginary conversations with her in my head. I had a plan to go down to New York and meet her but she died in 2001 before I could put it in motion.
Nathan Heller has written an excellent piece about her and why she still matters in the New Yorker an you should read it. Go out and by some of her books too while you are at it.
