It's a pleasure and an honor to take part in this new BBC radio documentary about the great critic and curator Iris Barry (who, of course, founded the MOMA Film Library and made sure that its treasures were projected to museumgoers):

Claudia Cardinale: the only actor to star in three of Sight & Sound's 100 best films of all time, but who also played the princess in The Pink Panther, destoyer & rebuilder of adolescents the world over. The cause of & cure for all our problems. No better legacy. RIP

"That’s what the practice of essaying is, to me: a stumbling attempt to re-create, in language, a common space, one that is open to all." www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
