As in the live show, but perhaps even more so in the ironically more naturalistic movie medium, the thinness of the story line and two-dimensionality of the characters cannot be denied. McAchearn is a caricature, not a character and although I was a little surprised when he suddenly shoots off a couple of "Dear John" letters to God and conveniently leaves them lying around (I'm not sure if he knew God's address anyway since he only attended church in order to stare at his wife in the choir loft), this divine correspondence does nothing towards redeeming him from his hopeless two-dimensionality. More recursively still, Director's Cut is just one element in a semitheatrical presentation, for the artist has the telecined video projection placed within a gallery installation featuring scenery from the theater set, whose own two-dimensionality and general lack of verisimilitude smoothes the transition from prop to sculpture. |
