My Take
Peter Bogdanovich earns my deep respect because he crossed the line most people never dare to cross. He began as a critic, dissecting other people's movies, and then went out and made genuinely great ones of his own, becoming a central figure of New Hollywood. Turning love of cinema into actual filmmaking is far harder than it looks, and his work carried that scholar's reverence for the masters who came before him. A BAFTA-winning craftsman who treated film history as living material, he embodied what it means to love the art form. His passing in 2022 closed a chapter of true devotion.
