After working for \u003cem\u003eSight and Sound\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMonthly Film Bulletin\u003c\/em\u003e in London in the 1970s, he served for two decades as chief film critic for the \u003cem\u003eChicago Reader\u003c\/em\u003e. Hailed as \"one of the best\" by Jean-Luc Godard, who compared him to James Agee and André Bazin, Rosenbaum is known for his incisive, thought-provoking polemics, which have inspired generations of writers while reshaping how we think about cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistinguished by his equal investment in both contemporary cinema and film history, his work offers a rich dialogue between the past and present of moving images. In this wide-ranging conversation with film scholar Ehsan Khoshbakht, Rosenbaum reminisces about his childhood in Florence, Alabama, where his family ran a chain of cinemas, and follows that journey to New York, Paris, London and Chicago. Each city marks a chapter in his evolution as a critic, filled with encounters and experiences that together reveal the life of an indefatigable cinephile and cultural commentator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11807502\"\u003eJonathan Rosenbaum\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14901295\"\u003eEhsan Khoshbakht\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sticking Place Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 5.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942782889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942782888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sticking Place Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48456762949869,"sku":"9781942782889","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_d1867ef4-13d5-4ff0-b0cf-60555b766cda.jpg?v=1753567273","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/travels-in-the-cities-of-cinema-9781942782889","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
