  Of course it is inconceivable to Mr. Schneider that the film may be about BOTH memory and perception.
  
  But of course, then he wouldn't have anything to act smug and superior about whilst talking about other critics.

  couldnt agree more with the previous comment. the films are about both memory and perception.
  from the moment i read him stating that vertigo is an overrated movie i knew i couldnt take him seriously.

  Quoting: "one can understand why I was never particularly moved to engage the films of this man; especially considering that he was French, from that nation that launched the careers of such notable filmic failures as Jean Cocteau and Jean-Luc Godard."
  
  So you would never have watched French cinema because of a whole 2 French directors being failures? Surely that's not very constructive discrimination? That would mean that you wouldn't watch any American cinema on the grounds of how much junk they put out every week? I think American cinema is great, don't you agree?
  Cocteau a failure? Please develop... compared to what? Compared to "Terminator" in terms of box office numbers (since you mentioned Terminator in your critic)? What makes you say such a gratuitous, ignorant thing? The guy invented more than most can today with more technology and everyone at the time looked at him as the way forward for the new cinema... Get your head out of your brainwashed box, forget what you learned in the all-good-thinking schools and cinema academies (what's that suppose to mean anyway?) and embrace!

  Film, after all, is a medium founded and nurtured by the written word. Without a good screenplay, a film is just shadows on a wall."
