Deeper Into Movies is a collection of 1969 to 1972 movie reviews by American film critic Pauline Kael, published by Little, Brown and Company in 1973. It was the fourth collection of her columns; these were originally published in The New Yorker. It won the U.S. National Book Award in category Arts and Letters.
Containing reviews of individual films from the aforementioned time period, the collection also includes a long essay entitled "Numbing the Audience".
In the anthology, Kael praises the merits of then upcoming directors such as Robert Altman and Francis Ford Coppola in her reviews of MASH, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, and The Godfather, while panning the movies of directors such as Stanley Kubrick and his A Clockwork Orange for its brutality and moral convolutions.
The book is now out-of-print in the United States, but is still published in the United Kingdom by Marion Boyars Publishers, an independent publishing company.
