Movie Reviews of Portrait of Jason [Region 2]
Movie Review: What is the deal?
Summary: 5 Stars
When on earth is someone going to pay proper homage to the work of Shirley Clarke? Her documentaries are all but unavailable commercially in the United States, including this amazing 1967 one-on-one with a 'street hustler.' M Snively (below) has done an admirable job of describing the basic 'plot' and emotional impact of the film. My only addition to the discussion is: Please release this damn thing on a US-friendly DVD format! And soon. It is an amazing, engrossing, and personal portrait of a certain aspect of 1960's sociality, an entirely engaging and informative perspective on alternative lifestyle. LONG past due for an American DVD release. Someone please come along and do this film--and filmmaker--justice.
Summary of Portrait of Jason [Region 2]
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Portrait of Jason is the raw record of a confessional conversation with an African-American gay hustler recounting his life and times. A disturbing and fascinating document, it unflinchingly observes Jason Holliday - conversing, performing, confessing, dissolving. Shirley Clarke was a key figure in the American avant-garde and has been an influence on filmmakers and video artists over the last 40 years. Available for the first time ever on DVD, Portrait of Jason is a counter-culture classic and a landmark in American independent cinema. ...Portrait of JasonSimilar DVD Movies
