Lost, Lost, Lost (1976) User Reviews

a fascinating mess

[Mary-18 · 6/10 · 9 March 2001]

Jonas Mekas had been a New York film critic and friend of many independent filmmakers when he decided to try his own hand at making films. Lost, Lost, Lost is one of his most well-known films, and is an interesting montage-esque autobiography. The footage was shot over several decades, and many shots have a very home-movie feel to them. Some shots are quite beautiful and thought provoking, but there doesn't seem to be much continuity throughout the film, which left me disoriented and dissatisfied with many sections.

just saying

This is just a response to @Mary-18. Quoting: "Some shots are quite beautiful and thought provoking, but there doesn't seem to be much continuity throughout the film, which left me disoriented and dissatisfied with many sections."

Well, I guess that explains the title :)

Art in its purest form

"It's my nature now, to record. To try to keep everything I'm passing through, to keep at least bits of it. I have lost too much so now I have these bits that I have passed through."

Astonishingly beautiful as every Mekas's film, he never ceases to amaze me. God bless your soul Jonas!
