Quote:
"Part of what [Joyce] Wieland considered her ongoing role of feminizing national symbols, Reason Over Passion is an experimental nationalist road film (an experiment in nationalisms) cross-cutting idealized signifiers for Canada—the national flag, images of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau—with coast-to-coast shots of regional landscapes."
