In postwar America, as Hollywood experienced profound economic and industrial changes, film critics Pauline Kael, Jonas, Mekas, and Parker Tyler helped Americans reassess the cinema's value to American culture while demonstrating the political value of film criticism. This dissertation provides analysis of film critics Pauline Kael, Jonas Mekas, and Parker Tyler's critique of the "New American Cinema" that accounted for the cultural and industrial changes that influenced American independent, experimental, and "New" Hollywood cinema produced from 1959-71. In their criticism of the New American Cinema, Kael, Mekas, and Tyler challenged proposed binaries between "high" and "low" culture, fine art and popular culture, and mainstream and marginal culture, and they moved American film criticism beyond aesthetic analysis that was motivated by anxieties about the cinema's lack of cultural value. But crucially, Kael, Mekas, and Tyler used film criticism to analyze American identity and social values in terms of class and taste, gender and cultural discourse, and sexuality and aesthetics. Pauline Kael challenged hierarchies of "high" and "low" culture in her celebration of the "New Hollywood" as popular culture and populist art. Jonas Mekas promoted American independent and experimental cinema by challenging middle-class values of consumption and conformity. Parker Tyler provided analysis of experimental "underground" cinema's representations of sexuality and appropriation of queer aesthetics. Ultimately, Kael, Mekas, and Tyler used their criticism of the New American Cinema to change domestic reception of the cinema by disclosing the political value of film criticism and the cultural value of cinema.
