VOICE CHOICES ARCHIVES Ontic Antics
by Jim Hoberman
Dir. Ken Jacobs (2005).
Ken Jacobs transforms the 1929 two-reel Laurel and Hardy talkie Berth Marks into a 55-minute sensory blitz. The original narrative isn’t lost or even deconstructed, it’s detonated—and, as Ollie is made to dance and Stan to fly, the comedy is re-choreographed.
