Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Portrait of Jason is a 1967 experimental documentary film directed by Shirley Clarke.It is a feature length interview of Jason Holliday, aka Aaron Payne (1924-1998), a friend of Clarke's. Holliday, a gay black man, had an eventful, tumultuous life with experiences that ranged from domestic servant to male prostitute to stage performer. The whole movie takes place in the living room of Holliday's New York City apartment, and it was shot over 12 hours in one single evening and night. Holliday, the only person to appear onscreen, talks about his life. Clarke and her partner Carl Lee are heard offscreen, conducting the interview, giving Holliday prompts, and becoming more confrontational as the film heads towards a conclusion.Compare Robert Frost: A Lover's Quarrel with the World, a much more conventional Clarke documentary about the poet Robert Frost.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Bigger Is Better in Bed: If Jason is to be believed, one of the psychiatrists he visits has a rather unprofessional interest in the size of Jason's penis.

Camp Gay: The sashaying, the finger snapping, the quoting of Broadway musicals—yep, Jason's pretty camp.

Close on Title: "Portrait of Jason - Copyright 1967 - Shirley Clarke" at the bottom of the distributor's card at the very end is the film's only credit.
