Ever since I picked up Christgau's Record Guide: The '80s in 1990, I have been a fan of the man who calls himself the Dean of American Rock Critics. So I was delighted that a documentary about Robert Christgau, The Last Critic, premiered at SXSW. Even better, the film is quite good, winning a special jury prize at the festival. For Documentary Magazine, I interviewed Matty Wishnow, who directed the film. We talked about Christgau's famous surliness, the future of music criticism, and the Dean's abiding love affair with his wife (and fellow writer) Carola Dibbell. Hope you enjoy.
