Two Films & a Trailer for a Sunday Afternoon: Jung, diPrima, & Ginsberg


Three noteworthy celluloid adventures for a rainy afternoon. The Jung hits a tad of a lull a little ways in and picks up steam. Allen is Allen, a joy to listen to and behold and I can't wait to see the film on Diane di Prima.

Enjoy.

Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis.
