How to Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (and Enjoy It)

 

USA 2005, 85 minutes
Dir. Joe Angio
Genres: Documentary / Blaxploitation, Film History

 

Aroview: Blaxploitation pioneer Melvin Van Peebles’ SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSSS SONG is honoured in this high appreciation of the filmmaker and musician’s colourful life before, during and after he changed the face of independent cinema.

A lucid reappraisal of the fertile 70s and the Black film movement that spawned from within, dir. Angio’s affection for his subject, while biased and over-adoring, remains a solid affidavit for Peebles as an overlooked iconoclast of the era.
