I tried to post a comment to this article expressing my dissatisfaction about her very idiosyncratic lexicon, but it seems not to have taken. The author goes on to say that Citizen Kane was avant garde, completely ignoring the historical usage of this term. I don't understand why The Independent got someone to write this article who seems to have very little exposure to experimental film. (She also seems to have mostly art-world references for exp. film, which is another problem after the more basic ones.)
