I Don't Know Which Tree It Comes From that Fragrance

In his latest film, Mekas shares what he describes as “a valentine to Yoko Ono,” done in his signature diaristic style. Mixing the familiar 16mm film with DV video, he offers a fly-on-the-wall look at intimate moments spent with one of the foremost artists of that era, including performances by Ono and new footage of her recent work—a testament to her endurance and the friendships she has made and kept over the years.

Directed by Jonas Mekas, I Don't Know Which Tree It Comes From that Fragrance leans on a strong ensemble — Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, John Lennon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2017.
