Ed
Wood
Films are plainly
made of images in succession, “mysterious explosions”, running buffalo, Army
cannons, an octopus, these tell the tale.
The venture has
its roots in the theater, in painting, sculpture and music. It requires unusual
resources, hence Wood in the vortex.
“The proof is in
the facts,” Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster, Plan 9 from
Outer Space.
A critique of the art, therefore, to show him in it, mustering every resource sufficient to his genius, quick on the set, receptive to inspiration, devoted to the cinema.
