Deeper Into Movies is a 1973 anthology compiling film critiques written by American film critic Pauline Kael between 1969 and 1972, released by Little, Brown and Company. This volume represents her fourth collection of essays initially published in The New Yorker. It was honored with the U.S. National Book Award in the Arts and Letters division.
Summary

Directors
In her analyses, Kael draws attention to rising filmmakers such as Robert Altman and Francis Ford Coppola, particularly in her discussions of MASH, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, and The Godfather. On the other hand, she offers a critical view of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, condemning its intense violence and ethical complexity.
