Don’t take the poet’s anger for hysterics. When you hear a poet shouting, think about your own existence which is in danger.

Overview

Barbara, a young woman consumed by despair, contemplates suicide, while a man she meets in a church and a married couple struggle to persuade her that life is still worth living. Mekas’s film weaves this intimate drama into a larger reflection on alienation, politics, and the turbulence of early 1960s America.
