Richard Schickel Was Never a Big Fan of the Oscars
Author, filmmaker and Time magazine film critic passed away over the weekend at age 84
Three documentaries; two books; one lifelong friendship. That’s the short version of how Richard Schickel, the longtime former Time film critic who died over the weekend at age 84, connected to Clint Eastwood.
A longer version is an interview conducted by Movieweb with Schickel in 2010, when one of those documentaries, The Eastwood Factor, was bundled into a massive DVD retrospective of Eastwood’s Warner Bros. oeuvre. Schickel starts off by explaining how he eventually had to stop reviewing Eastwood’s films, because of the conflict created by their personal friendship.
