5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Jonas Mekas captures an afternoon in New York as a Hare Krishna group fills the streets with chanting and song. Filmed with his characteristic freewheeling style and later incorporated into Walden, the short stands as an impressionistic sketch of spiritual fervor and Mekas’s participatory approach to cinema.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Mekas constructs the film as an immersive fragment, relying on his diary-film approach. The camera participates in the procession; its tremors and rapid cuts convey not chronology but the raw energy of the moment.

What lingers after viewing is a sensory impression—an echo of chant and movement, rather than a narrative. It’s a fleeting, joyful capture of public ecstasy. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch with headphones, letting the chant wash over you. A perfect meditative interlude.
