Out-Takes from the Life of a Happy Man
Directed by Jonas Mekas
An autobiographical diary film assembled from unused footage shot between 1960 and 2000, interwoven with reflections, music, and glimpses of family, friends, city life, and travel. Mekas transforms these fragments into a poetic celebration of memory, happiness, and the passing of time.
