Scenes from Allen's Last Three Days on Earth as a Spirit
(Jonas Mekas, 1997)
[quote]Scenes from Allen's Last Three Days on Earth as a Spirit is an elegy for Allen Ginsberg, whose body, in the Buddhist tradition, was laid to rest for three days. Shot continuously on video, with few edits, the elegy takes on a slower, more meditative quality than his film elegies. Mekas arrives at Ginsberg's home after Ginsberg has passed away, and films the chanting monks, the gathered friends, and Ginsberg's peaceful face. “All that footage of friends gone,” he muses. “In my footage people get born, grow up, live, and die.” In a telling scene, the people in Ginsberg's loft are asked to leave while the body is being prepared for transport. Mekas is allowed to stay, as is a friend who prays at the foot of Ginsberg's bed. Mekas later attends the prayer service at the Buddhist Temple where many of Ginsberg's friends have gathered. Following the service, he goes to Anthology, where, with a few friends, he offers a toast to his departed friend.[/quote]
