Ineffable #1

Ineffable: incapable of being expressed or described in words



I have always found this version of Joan Osborne singing One Of Us. It is old and blurry and yet I find it ineffably stirring.

Final credits song on the film Nema Aviona Za Zagreb. Starring Timothy Leary and Meher Baba, it is the only theatrical film Meher Baba ever agreed to appear in. I don't know why I find the song so moving where it comes at the end of the film. It is simply ineffable.

The face of Henri Alekan (1909 – 2001), the cinematographer on Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast and the Beast as well as Wim Wenders' The State of Things and Wings of Desire. His face is ineffably beautiful, as are his films.

Filmed in August – September 1973, Alice in the Cities opens under a pier a few miles from the Meher Spiritual Center. It is by the famous German director Wim Wenders. Alice in the Cities is my favourite film of all time and I cannot determine why. Its impact is simply ineffable. The director can be seen standing next to the Juke-Box in the background in the cafe scene shot in South Carolina.
