Lisa Lyon: Icons of the Divine

About This Movie

So, 'Lisa Lyon: Icons of the Divine' is quite a curious piece from 1986. It's a documentary that feels more like a personal exploration than your standard format. Lisa Lyon herself is, well, she's not just a subject; she's a force. The way she talks about her 'Female Spirit' intertwines perfectly with her own journey, which creates this almost ethereal atmosphere. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with her thoughts. She wrestles with the themes of art and identity, especially in reaction to the abstract movement, which is fascinating. There’s a rawness in her ritualistic expressions that’s really distinctive, plus the practical effects are minimal, keeping the focus on her performance. It’s a unique look into a creative mind.

Focuses on personal narrative and identity.Explores the interplay between art and the human form.Atmosphere is meditative and introspective.
