I find it one of the most interesting narrative films to come out this year. What's interesting is that David Brooks manages to fuse in it a number of different techniques that, until now, have only been used in non-narrative and poetic films—techniques such as single-frame, free and impressionistic camera movements, the quasi-total absence of plot, etc. The other thing I like about \"The Wind...\" is the fascinating melancholy that surrounds it. Its narrative of moods, reflections, things lost, gone, like autumn leaves—no tragedy, really, only a mood of melancholy, of sadness—of friends, lifestyles, vanished cultures, ages that come and go—these are just some of the notes the film sounds. Romanticism? Perhaps.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJonas Mekas, \u003cem\u003eMovie Journal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\"Inventorying his films makes no more sense than inventorying a Bonnard painting.
