...leaving behind a large body of films, many of which were organized in series around common problems of morality and relationships. If you share the conviction of Gene Hackman’s character in “Night Moves” that a Rohmer film is “kind of like watching paint dry,” you might do better to pay your respects to Segal, who died on January 17.

It was sort of this Tiny Tim thing. 'Please sir, may we have a medal? Oh no? Well then, thank you for your kind consideration.' That was the Canadian motto. It was hilarious because it was mostly true. We just said, Look, this is nonsense. Let's have some fun with this; let's try to improve...
