The Two-Backed Beast, or The Critic Makes the Film

An experimental short film that finds film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum playing himself, being interviewed about a film that doesn’t exist. Director Peter Bull proceeds to create the film that Rosenbaum describes. The alternating footage provides insight into these two different modes of representation.
