description: "Raymond Durgnat was a British film critic, who was born in London to Swiss parents. During his life he wrote for virtually every major English language film publication. In 1965 he published the first major critical essay on Michael Powell, who had hitherto been \"fashionably dismissed by critics as a 'technician's director'\", as Durgnat put it."
