CityArts - Issue #6 - The King and I

To All:
 
The last lines of both Armond's and Greg's critiques in this issue establish standards and erect hierarchies--challenges to received wisdom about art and history. Synchronizing with Armond's reading of the "multileveled tribute" of the cover photo, these reviews are written from the towering perspective of the last two remaining giants in the field of film criticism. It reminds that the photographer's "multileveled tribute" extends from  personal significance to the universal: we all live in the shadow of giants. In other words, those devastating final lines bespeak a profound humility.
