一千零一无眠夜 (2011)

Jonas Mekas invites viewers on a tour through his nightlife, bringing together twenty-five stories of life, love and friendship.Jonas Mekas' opening confession that he suffers from insomnia will come as no surprise to anyone aware of his singular contribution to cinema. Over 50 years he has established and promoted a viable culture for truly independent and avant-garde filmmaking, and his recent acceptance by the art world has brought a long overdue wave of attention and success. Sleepless Nights Stories is the latest in the series of long-form diary films that Mekas has been making since his arrival in the USA in 1949. Eating, drinking, singing and dancing with friends, the tireless octogenarian is full of life and wonder, casually weaving together contemporary folk tales collected during travels across the globe. Marina Abramovic fantasises about domesticity, Lee Stringer recounts an episode from his crack-addicted past, and the protagonist toasts the 'working class voice' of Amy Winehouse. Treating significant and inconsequential moments with equal import, Mekas' modern-day saga presents the first episodes from his ambitious '1001 Nights' project.Mark Webber 可以归为“故事”，但影像落入了次要环节，分段中不同的人物也变得次要，赞美阿拉留下朋友、无眠夜的种种回忆、也是不忘灵感的来源，故事的载体终归还是诗人即兴的感悟，也让Mekas画外音/画外画变成了时间暂停遐想的瞬间Re-voir 限日免费点播 The night is finally my kingdom. 这部更像是一种昂贵布料边角的缝纫？看到一半的时候去Sony网店买了一台AX100E 然后思考它是否能像我的眼睛一样工作/领我去看那些没被看到的 当然，永远致敬Jonas Mekas摇摇晃晃的大蒜发芽，阴雨天无眠夜的围炉夜话，到这个年纪的jonas递给我们热牛奶和毛毯，开始讲起了故事就像拥有午夜的魔法，说不尽的失眠故事织成温柔的记忆。抚摸像马背的树干，唱着歌怀念玛丽门肯，城市化为云朵，日常化为秘境。听梅卡斯和他的朋友们讲故事谈艺术，度过这失眠夜，还有什么更美好的享受？他们的电影史，他们的艺术史，就是那些与朋友欢聚的时刻，梅卡斯的摄影机令一切都成为永恒！中途睡著兩次，後悔去看這一場。總之太多藝術家以藝術之名做著神經之事，毫無美感，卻自以為美。
