FRANK PGM 1
by Robert Frank
PULL MY DAISY
(1959, 28 minutes, 35mm, b&w. Co-directed by Alfred Leslie)
Based on an unfinished stage play by Jack Kerouac and inspired by an incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn, DAISY tells the story of a railway brakeman whose painter wife invites a respectable bishop over for dinner. But the protagonist’s bohemian friends (including Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and Peter Orlovsky) de-cide to crash the party…
THE SIN OF JESUS (1961, 40 minutes, 35mm, b&w)
Frank’s second film is also one of his most stylized. In this bleak, Bergmanesque parable, Jesus refuses mercy to a young woman, instead giving her a guardian angel that she seduces.
O. K. END HERE (1963, 30 minutes, 35mm, b&w)
A day in the lives of a man and woman drifting apart in New York City.
Total running time: ca. 100 minutes.
