Tossup

After reading a book by this critic, Aki Kaurismäki (“kow-riss-MACK-ee”) decided to adapt Crime and Punishment as his debut film. Former spy Helen Grace Scott assisted this critic with a book he rage-wrote after someone told him that he only thought highly of a certain film because he had never been to Greenwich Village. The careers of a duo of directors known by the portmanteau Aurenchébost (“oh-RAWN-shay-bost”) were killed by this critic’s ruthless essay examining a “certain tendency” of a film industry. In his elaboration of a concept introduced by this critic, Andrew (*) Sarris used (-5[1])an indirect English translation of the word “politique.” A 1967 book by this critic breaks down editing techniques via stills from films like Sabotage and Shadow of a Doubt. This critic was the first to use the word “auteur” in a film theoretic sense. For 10 points, name this Cahiers du cinéma (“kah-YAY doo cinema”) critic who published a book-length interview with Alfred (10[1])Hitchcock four years after directing Jules and Jim. ■END■ (10[2]0[1])
