"In Warren Sonbert's Honor and Obey, soldiers march information, a tiger stalks through the snow, religious processions windthrough streets and palm trees wave in a tropical breeze. As brightlycolored images of authority figures blend into scenes of cocktailparties, this silent film flows along with the grace of a musical scorebuilt on complex tensions hidden among the notes. 'Whose authority willyou obey?' the film seems to ask, as it deftly avoids simple-mindedjuxtapositions. Instead, we see a melange of images so full ofgeography-Notre Dame Cathedral, the Sydney Opera House, FifthAvenue-that the work mocks the idea of any specific setting. Sooner orlater, social and natural laws meet and probably clash, Mr. Sonbertsuggests, but in this scenario of discrete images all is apparentharmony." Caryn James, New York Times
