Review of Portrait of Jason (1967) by Adrian R — 25 Apr 2013
Portrait of Jason is a vital document of many important social and cultural themes - homosexuality, racial politics, class stratification, and the changing face of New York in the 60s on one hand; cinema verité, documentary film, and NYC underground cinema on the other.
As someone coming to this film without any firsthand knowledge of New York City in the 1960s, Jason is still captivatingly relevant in a modern and mainstream setting like the IFC center, in 2013, in the heart of Greenwich Village.
Jason may very well change your life, but at the very least he'll keep you entertained for an hour and 45 minutes.
