American film critic and Pulitzer Prize winner is currently writing for The New Yorker and previously worked for Variety and Los Angeles Times. In Karlovy Vary he was serving as a member of the Crystal Globe competition jury. We discussed when Justing Chang started with film criticism and why he still does not feel like an expert. Why some of his most and least favorite people in the world are film critics, whether he still remembers his first twitter reaction to Hirokazu Koreeda Cannes winning Shoplifters or what original condemnation or appraisal he took back. And also: which director he would like to highlight as a great master of today, that deserves more fame and recognition. English-only special episode, hosted by Pavel Sladky.
