Portrait of Olivia de Havilland is a fascinating dive into memory and artistry. Directed by an unknown hand, this documentary captures the essence of Rotterdam through the lens of Jules Deelder, who reflects on his life and the 1950s via his poem, 'Portret van Olivia de Havilland.' What’s striking is the eclectic mix of 26 characters that come together to pay homage, each adding a unique flair to Deelder’s words. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to soak in the nostalgia, while the performances feel raw and genuine. It's no flashy biopic; instead, it unfolds like a personal letter, showcasing the power of poetry and memory intertwined with the city's spirit. A rare gem for those interested in the poetic arts and Rotterdam's cultural landscape.
