Remedial Reading Comprehension
Landow rejects the dream imagery of the historical trance film for the self-referential present, using macrobiotics, the language of advertising, and a speed-reading test on the definition of hokum. The alienated filmmaker appears, running uphill to distance himself from the lyrical cinema, but remember, "This is a film about you, not about its maker."

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Landow constructs the film as a formal exercise, relying on the collision of textual fragments, advertising vernacular, and a deconstruction of cinematic lyricism. It explores the viewer's own role in parsing meaning from a barrage of mediated signals.
What lingers after is the provocative idea that the medium itself is under examination, not just the images it displays. — MovieFinder Editorial
