Quote:
Reason over Passion is one of Joyce Wieland’s most renowned experimental films – a cross-country travelogue, political satire, modernist experiment – which embodies many of the themes recurrent in her rich, diverse and extensive oeuvre.

Quote:
Reason Over Passion (French: La raison avant la passion) is a Canadian experimental film, directed by Joyce Wieland and released in 1969. A reflection on Pierre Trudeau’s famous public statement that he valued reason over passion in his approach to governing Canada, the film deconstructs the concept by blending news footage of Trudeau at the 1968 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election with tracking shots of the Canadian landscape, as the letters in the subtitle “reason over passion” rearrange and scramble into 537 nonsensical anagrams over the course of the film.
