Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Selection, quality and cultural 'impact' are less than I expected. I really like Other Cinema offerings, own about 6-8 discs that they put out. This is my least favorite of what I've bought from them. (Animal Charm is good place to start.) This label's offerings are very very cool, and I love that this is put out by them and is part of the fabric of their fringe/experimental/cultural dvd oddities. Maybe I expected too much from this afro/blaxsploitation trailer compilation. Appreciate having the disc.

Alternatively trashy and poignant- and sometimes just plain hard to believe these days- here's an irresistible program of Black Cinema trailers that trace its evolution throughout its most crucial period, 1946-1976. Filled with insights on race and social dynamics, this fascinating compendium of Coming Attractions explores an extensive range of stylistic approaches- Blaxploitation, Comedy, Music Bio, Plantation Drama- and more- all smartly organized by genre, or viewable as one outrageous joyride through motion picture history. Beyond mere camp, these marvelously condensed gems crystallize a range of African-american identities and personalities, tracking the meteoric careers of Sidney Poitier, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, Richard Pryor, Pam Grier et al through their bold performances in movies both hugely popular and practically forgotten.
