Self-Portrait

About This Movie

Self-Portrait is a unique piece, for sure. It’s not your typical narrative, but rather a single, static shot that spans the length of 42 minutes. Yoko Ono presents an intimate view that pushes the boundaries of art and film. The pacing is almost hypnotic, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of vulnerability, intimacy, and the nature of self-representation. The film’s atmosphere is raw and confrontational, challenging social norms and expectations. It’s really a reflection of both Ono’s artistic vision and her relationship with Lennon, making it distinctive in a way that’s hard to describe without seeing it yourself.

Self-Portrait has a niche but dedicated collector interest due to its experimental nature and the connection to Yoko Ono and John Lennon. It has seen limited distribution in various formats, making original screenings and archival prints quite rare. Collectors often seek out this film not just for its content but for its place in avant-garde cinema history, reflecting the artistic explorations of the 1960s.
