Photographed by Rudy Burckhardt.) “[ROSE HOBART] is a breathtaking example of the potential for surrealistic imagery within a conventional Hollywood film once it is liberated from its narrative causality. […] In Cornell’s later films – both those photographed by Rudy Burckhardt, Stan Brakhage, and Larry Jordan and the collage films which Jordan completed – Joseph Cornell describes the marginal area where the conscious and the unconscious meet. These are films which affirm a sustained present moment in which a quality of reminiscence is implicated.” –P. Adams Sitney, VISIONARY FILM
