Alan Arkin has died — the star of 'Get Smart' and 'Little Miss Sunshine' was 89

My favorite film critic, Marc-André Lussier, died on June 30th. I think he is been really really important to my cinephilia. I valued his opinion when he reviewed a new release, his analyses were always on point. And, they far exceeded what one would expect of a free journal's movie critic. When he loved a film, he made sure that everyone knew it. But, even when a film was not his cup of tea, he was fair enough to find some redeeming qualities. What I love even more about him is that he did not, as so many commercial film critics do, review only the popular releases. He reviews arthouse films too. Even as my tastes grew more diverse with the years, I never felt that my knowledge or my openness to world cinema exceeded his. In that way, he sort of was my ideal. The few critics that I have published were inspired by his writing style. For me, it is a great loss. I will have to turn myself toward more formal film criticism (Séquences, 24 Images, Cahiers du cinéma, Sight and Sound) because nobody could equal Lussier as far as commercial criticism goes.R.I.P.
