The Two-Backed Beast, or The Critic Makes the Film is a 1978 experimental short film directed by Peter Bull. It features film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum playing himself in a unique narrative that explores the nature of film criticism and representation.
This film is relatively obscure, which adds to its allure for collectors. It has seen limited distribution, primarily in niche circles, making original prints quite rare. There are a few bootlegs floating around, but true collectors will seek out the official releases. Interest is mostly from those who appreciate the avant-garde style and the interplay between critique and creation, making it a curious piece for anyone who enjoys the more esoteric side of cinema.
