Leave your thoughts about In the Mirror of Maya Deren.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostInformative look at great filmmaker Deren. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanAnnotating excerpts from the movies with oral history, Kudlacek's film is a well-wrought introduction not just to Deren but an under-leveraged chunk of the art world. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoIt presents a reverential and loving portrait of Deren while remaining breezy, informative and entertaining. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThis 2002 German documentary (in English) by Marta Kudlacek is the best portrait of an experimental filmmaker that I know. |
| Boston GlobeJanice PageIntimidated by the words "avant-garde film"? Then hand yourself over, without reservation, to the skills of documentarian Martina Kudlacek and her astonishingly accessible primer, In the Mirror of Maya Deren. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordAn absolute must for those who think themselves students of film and for the serious documentary buff. |
