During a trip to Timothy Leary's Millbrook home, some of the most beautiful fragments of broken paradise sketch out an Edenic microcosm and a lesson in cinema that reveal the whole of Walden, shot in the heart of the 1960s by Jonas Mekas. The film is studied through thematic and aesthetic analyses that embrace the magical heterogeneity of the fragments and their specific stylistic treatment. Poetic moments illuminated by ecstatic childhood memories, the images are charged with an epidermal sensuality that refines our perception. And because the camera paints a new poetic reality of movement and “tattered” light, Mekas's Diaries, Notes and Sketches revive some of the issues at stake in modern painting.
