American film critic Elvis Mitchell’s kaleidoscopic documentary creates a definitive narrative of the Black revolution in 1970s cinema, from genre films to social realism—a work of painstaking scholarship that’s also thoroughly entertaining, an essential archival document and testament to a period of American film history unlikely to be repeated.
内容非常翔实,资料非常丰富,语言非常优美。感觉像是看了一篇论文一样。但是从纪录片的角度来说,这拍的也太差了吧。。。这不就是长影评配画面嘛。。。

前斯派克·李、查尔斯·伯内特时代美国非裔电影史回眸(不过斯派克·李这么爱热闹的人竟然没出镜),比较标准的影评人式创作,拍摄层面乏善可陈,结构也并不算清晰,但绝对是充实详尽的watchlist,涨了非常多知识,例如最早拍摄全非裔演员阵容故事片的导演原来是爱丽丝·居依。
