Summer 2009 Cineaste: Bardem, Maysles

Robert Koehler takes a long “second look” at Death of a Cyclist in the summer 2009 issue of Cineaste, sizing up Juan Antonio Bardem’s 1955 political melodrama in terms of Spain’s national identity and the legacy of neorealism. Check it out on the magazine’s website. And while you’re there, also worth a read is David Sterritt’s web-exclusive book review of Joe McElhaney’s Albert Maysles, which examines the idea of Maysles as an auteur.
