\nA \u2018film wake\u2019 for a friend who gave free dental care in exchange for artwork. (MW)
\n\u201cThough celebratory in mood, it has a mournful subtext … death and dying. We dedicated it to Dr. Sam West, departed friend and patron of the arts, trusting that his ghost would approve our hijinx and seeming irreverence.\u201d (RAN)<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSpecial Warning<\/em> is like a poem more than a narrative or story. It suggests states of isolation, barrenness, sexual guilt and sin, but even these punishing afflictions can have a humorous aspect when accompanied by horns.\u201d (RAN)<\/p>\n
\nTwo complete sections from the 70-minute film No-More<\/em> which Nelson produced with students at a summer school in Ithaca, NY. Shot in a verit\u00e9 style, they show a baseball game between hippies and straights, and the stoned and drunken party that follows as the kids hit the streets that evening. (MW)<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHauling Toto Big<\/em> operates on so many levels and points to so many different traditions of the avant-garde that it could serve as a compendium of style and theme, while also bearing Nelson\u2019s particular stamp and trickster persona. It\u2019s too bad his work is so rarely seen \u2013 it\u2019s some of the most irreverent, unpretentious, and loving work I\u2019ve ever laid eyes on.\u201d (Michael Joshua Rowin)
\n\u201cThis is my best film. This one cuts the deepest. Upon this one I stand or fall. Better yet the larger one comprised of all.\u201d (RAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
