I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances) (1976)

Release Date: 1976, January 1
Directors: Joan Jonas
Cast: Ellen McElduff

Overview:

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.
