Portrait of Sharon (S)
1963 · Documentary · 8 min. · United States
A kinetic collage of superimposed warm, soft-colored 16mm film set to percussive jazz, Larry Jordan’s PORTRAIT OF SHARON features beat poet Kirby Doyle on a motorcycle and Sharon “Didi” Morill, poet and onetime girlfriend of the saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, blinking her big eyes and sharing her youth with the camera. Landscapes and clouds dance in rhythm, conjuring the contemporary spirit of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.
