Alright. This is monumental-- as a document of the NY scene in the sixties-- as a kaleidoscopic memory trip filtered through the lenses of one man-- as a testament of the poetic quality even the simplest images can acquire. But yeah. It's sometimes a drag. I think even Mekas himself doesn't expect to keep the attention of his "dear viewers" through the whole three hours though. It's okay to let your mind wander. Just let the images wash over you and give peace a chance. Also it makes complete sense that Brakhage is a cabin in the woods guy. That whole sequence made me smile: I FIND RABBIT SHIT. 2 years 2 months ago -
