Review of Coonskin (1975) by Jack G — 25 Jul 2008
Brilliant satire! one of the 10 best I've ever seen! for once, Bakshi isn't uneven, and he delivers such outrageousness with the inspired imagination that's required. It's on the surface an exploitation flick; extremely violent, sexist, loaded with disgusting characterizations. But it's also about exploitation, and not just black; in the form of animation and abstraction, Bakshi hit his high-water mark. It's stunning work, even for today. Spike Lee, take note- this is how it's done.
Biggest downside- it's impossible to get on video! Yet it's the second time ever (after REC) that I've watched a movie online, and loved it!
