Walden: Diaries, Notes, and Sketches (1969, 180 min.)



"It’s fascinating to me that Walden, a milestone of non-narrative cinema, was so strongly influenced by De Amicis, but Mekas’ broader connection to the experimental novel, or nouveau roman, is clear. When Alain Robbe-Grillet “invented” the nouveau roman at the end of the fifties, it was a similar situation in literature. Robbe-Grillet considered the classical novel a “dead” medium, particularly its narrative dogma. In Mekas’ films, only time progresses linearly, but not the story. I chose to recommend Walden because I have the feeling that now is the perfect time to rediscover it. While watching it, you become aware of its prophetic approach to storytelling." -- Hans Ulrich Obrist
