Anthony Lane - at The New Yorker

At The New Yorker

In 1993, Lane was asked by The New Yorker's then-editor, Tina Brown, to join the magazine as a film critic. Lane now shares the role with David Denby. He also contributes longer pieces on film subjects—such as Alfred Hitchcock, Buster Keaton, and Grace Kelly—as well as other aspects of literature (Ian Fleming and Patrick Leigh Fermor) and the arts (Tintin).

A collection of 140 of his The New Yorker reviews, essays, and profiles was published in 2002 under the title Nobody's Perfect—a nod to the final line of the film Some Like it Hot. A profile of the film's director, Billy Wilder, ends the book.
