“Critics Manny Farber and Dave Hickey meditate on the nature of film and art. The film is named after Farber’s seminal book of film criticism and the video ‘wrestles with American landscape and culture, irony, memory, Las Vegas, the beginning of a new millennium, death, desert, film versus video, J.M.W. Turner’s painting, and several movies’ (Jonathan Rosenbaum).” (Keith Griffiths)
