Life Keeps on Passing

About This Movie

Life Keeps on Passing, shot in '85, is this fascinating documentary that feels a bit like a meditation on thought and observation. The camera wanders through the everyday, capturing poets as they reflect on their environments. It’s not flashy or overly edited; instead, it embraces a slow pacing that allows you to sit with the words and images. There's a raw honesty in their performances, almost a vulnerability, as they articulate their experiences and feelings. You sense the atmosphere of the time, the textures of life around them, and how poetry can illuminate the mundane. It stands out for its simplicity and the way it honors both the art of poetry and the beauty of the ordinary.
