6.5/10
A quasi-documentary directed by Jonas Mekas as part of a retrospective of his work, the film features footage from the 50's, 60's and 70's as shot by Mekas and detailing his life in the turmoil of Lithuania, his exile to America, and the return to his home country. It has more of a "home movie" feel than a documentary feel and, coupled with Mekas' slow, halting English voiceover, it can be a struggle to keep your attention held, but it had its interesting moments. Jonas attended the screening and gave a cool Q&A afterward, which was very impressive considering he's 90 years old!
