If this insightful and sensitive close reading of Kaufman's film is any indication of the book Insdorf is writing, I cannot wait until it is published! As a filmmaker (who has a BA in film studies and an MFA in film production), I would like to see the interdisciplinary/humanistic approach Insdorf applies to the study of the film text become the standard in academia, as opposed to the convoluted, ephemeral, parasitic theoretical studies that are the current rage. They have no grounding in the films or the context in which they were made. Bravo, Annette Insdorf! And thank you.
