Mekas eats a croissant
Independent film maker Jonas Mekas eats a croissant and plays the accordion while summoning Velvet Underground drummer back from the dead to recite depressing dirge in another of his film Songs of dissonant melody. Slightly more accessible than some of his other shorts, the major blame this time around is awarded to narrator Angus MacLise monotoning in a deep state despair and self pity that threatens to bury the short 60 seconds in. Once rid of his whining you are able to concentrate on the montage in which Mekas's pedestrian squeezebox work actually brings a poignancy to the picture.
