Bruce Baillie’s Songs of Everything
In the recent issue of independent literary magazine Pistol Mice, Chuck Stephens describes the work of Canyon Cinema founder Bruce Baillie:
“Mass for the Dakota Sioux, Valentin de las Sierras, Quixote, Quick Billy—Baillie’s films from the media-saturated political cauldron that was the 1960s are madeleine Westerns sprung from the mind of a peyote Proust; mythopoetic road movies from which Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider and The Last Movie would soon thereafter learn to walk the walk. Folk song-simple and kaleidoscopically synaesthetic, these are films with which every cineaste ought be intimate, though few since the 60s have ever had the chance.”
