Reviews
Joyce Wieland radically reworked cinema. A cosmopolitan nationalist and wry social critic, Wieland was a major contributor to the astonishing mid-century developments of North American avant-garde moviemaking. She deserves a significant place in film history, and this sterling volume of essays, comprehensive and revelatory, promises to deliver this to her.
