Portrait of Jason
Shirley Clarke
United States, 1967
English with Arabic subtitles - 105 min
Filmmaker Ingmar Bergman called Portrait of Jason “the most extraordinary film I've seen in my life,” and with good purpose. Portrait of Jason is a disturbing yet fascinating 90-minute exercise in the avant garde from noted experimental filmmaker Shirley Clarke, who produced, edited, directed, and provided voiceover for the landmark work
In essence, the film consists of an interview with “Jason,” a young black hustler, with whom Clarke is engaged with in an occasionally acrimonious dialogue. Many critics at the time expressed disgust or nausea over the film; arguably, Clarke may have been rather exploitive of her subject. Love it or hate it, Portrait of Jason remains a landmark work of experimental cinema
