70s Drama
4.5 Stars
A great find. Yaphet Kotto, one of the most underrated actors around (consistently excellent in Homicide, Live and Let Die) excels in this offbeat dramedy. The film veers between light and inventive dark moments. It captures the post-civil rights movement in a way I hadn't seen before, and blends this with a Save the Tiger/Breezy type generation clash. There's a freshness that also lasts about the way the film was shot. For a while it felt like a California Scorsese style. Highly recommended.
