First Class Flight

About This Movie

First Class Flight is a fascinating documentary that captures a unique slice of life aboard a first-class flight. The pacing feels reflective, almost meditative as we follow the experience of the filmmaker, Jonas Mekas. It's not just about travel; it's an exploration of solitude amidst corporate travelers fast asleep. The atmosphere is surreal, with late-night conversations that drift from lighthearted banter to deeper discussions about societal issues like Occupy Wall Street. Mekas’ style here is very personal, almost diary-like, which gives it this intimate touch. There’s a certain charm to the way he interacts with the sleepy bar girls, capturing a moment in time that feels both fleeting and profound.
