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.
Guns of the Trees was directed by Jonas Mekas.
Guns of the Trees runs for 1h 25min, and was released in 1961.
