TOMMY (2001)

So you wanna be a cop?

Submission to genre authority results in the sublimated crack-up of self.

Says the guy who made it: "For me this is a poem, a formal exorcise, as in an exorcism that is also an action, ie ritual. Tried to capture Bay Street at that time of night when everything looks like Blade Runner."

"Also cut it with some footage of a billboard promoting joining the Toronto police department and a vignette of James portraying a heroin addicted super cop."

"What's it about? As Locke says: "It's about 'property'."

"Of course I had to make it look like Detour (1945) on crack."

Premiered at Splice This! Toronto (2001).
