Quote:
"From the first shots of Cape Breton beaches where the rolling surf is something right side up and sometimes upside down, and most important you are not sure which; till the final climatic descent from the Rockies into Vancouver to the stationary giant ocean-going liner, photographed as if it were a huge postcard; Joyce Wieland's film [La raison avant la passion] puts us inside a Rauschenberg in motion with the warping beat of a Noland."
-- Ross Mendes
