Review
Two Films by Owen Land is much more than the texts of Wide Angle Saxon and On the Marriage Broker Joke, the two most complex films of Owen Land (aka George Landow). Mark Webber has scrupulously edited the first book on this major filmmaker, judiciously allowing Land's own words -- his texts, his essays, hilarious annotations, and an interview -- to reveal the depth and intensity of his engagement with cinema and other avant-garde filmmakers. It is a very funny book: Land admits he has a been 'converted more times than Uncle Ben's Rice,' or speculated that Freud 'would have bombed in Las Vegas' with the jokes in his book on wit. The filmography alone constitutes a major contribution to the field.
