I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances)
Original title: I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances)
24 minutes • 1976 • 10.0 Score
Jonas intercuts scenes of the Nova Scotia countryside with images of a studio set-up reminiscent of a di Chirico painting. The soundtrack includes both music and spoken excerpts from a journal Jonas kept while travelling in Nova Scotia. I Want to Live in the Country ultimately deals with observation and fantasy, living in the country, and the stifling aspects of the city and one's art.
