Happy Memories

From Jonas Mekas’ new film “Out-takes from the Life of a Happy Man.”

It’s just so beautiful. I cannot wait to see director Jonas Mekas’ new movie, “Outtakes from the Life of a Happy Man.” I’m watching the trailer in my kitchen this morning, eyes shining. The avant-garde filmmaker, now 90 years-old, has assembled this filmic diary of  his beautifully bohemian daily life in New York over the past 50 years…the prancing cats, the tousled kids, the morning light, the flowers in the vase. It’s the perfect, poetic home-movie.

Here’s a link to watch the trailer, because somehow I’m not clever enough to embed it here…Worth it!
