Going Home

About This Movie

Going Home is quite an interesting piece, really. It's this home movie by Adolfas Mekas and his wife Pola Chapelle, capturing their journey through Lithuania and Europe. You can feel the personal touch in every frame, almost like you're walking alongside them. The pace is relaxed, letting moments linger, which adds to that intimate atmosphere. It's shot concurrently with Jonas Mekas's more famous work, but it has its own charm. There’s a rawness to it, you know? The practical effects are non-existent, but that's not the point. It’s all about the experience, the nostalgia, and the connection to their roots. A unique slice of life that offers a different perspective on travel and home.
