In this film, as in all my previous ones, there is a direct connection between inner urges and cinematic rendering. I tried to visualize my present aspiration to recover, through the various ways taught by one’s experience, the easiness, directness and ripeness proper to children’s relationships and affective life. This film is maybe a track of this path backwards. – A. L.

“Freud established that jokes were structurally akin to dreams in their use of condensation, displacement, representation by opposites, punning and ‘nonsense’. All of these strategies are much in evidence in (Land’s) marvelously duplicitous ON THE MARRIAGE BROKER JOKE… [...] so clever and original a filmmaker as to make most others – not to mention his critics – seem flat-footed by comparison. ON THE MARRIAGE BROKER JOKE harks back to Bunuel’s early work. Not only is it structured like a dream and filled with sexual imagery, but like Un Chien Andalou, it smacks of being an insider’s joke played upon the avant-garde. Where Bunuel used the insights of psychoanalysis to satirize Christianity, Land– with an almost equal perversity – reverses the process and uses Christianity to send up Freud.” – J. Hoberman, American Film

In January 2003, eighty-three York College students eliminated all words from Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams and, as all words were cut out of his sentence, were pronounced. On June 1, 2003, artist Simon Morris threw the words out the window of a Renault Clio in Redbridge Road, Dorset. The action freed words from the structural unity of Freud's text, subjecting them to a random moment. Maurizio Cogliandro and Dallas Seitz documented the action when 333,960 words emerged from the car window. This 13-second short documents this.
