An exploration of how European filmmakers shaped American popular film.
A Hollywood movie is the quintessential form of American cinema:…
A fantastic pop movie that’s funny and carnal and seriously political? It’s probably pretty well known as far as these things go just by virtue of the Criterion imprint and Carroll’s Oscar nod (along with the general black cinema boom of that period), but it’s a total joy with a lot of candor and I’d happily watch it again if it were the type of movie to play on TV a lot.
This was such a fun time!! Watched this in a small intimate theater with probably 10–15 other ppl and it was so nice to hear everyone react to funny or shocking lines. The black family is so important, I always root for love.
An astounding way for a film to end
Just stunning and incredible
Thinking lots about parallels with other films (3dp / bfap)
UK release, please!
