Experimental filmmaker Owen Land’s final film, Dialogues is a kind of parody of Anger’s famed Scorpio Rising juxtaposed with scenes supposedly taken from Land’s own life in 1985 and filtered through Plato’s Phaedo.

“If Dialogues took place in 2003 rather than 1985, Missy Elliot undoubtedly would have been a part of the wide ranging soundtrack (as her repetitive lyrics, rhythms, and pitches would work in conjunction with those similarities in Land’s work) featuring period pop hits that instate the works’ cyclical structure feeding into other pieces from Anger, Deren, Brakhage, Snow, Rainer, Joyce, Voltaire, and Mutt and Jeff.” – James Hansen, Out1 Film Journal
