Review of Coonskin (1975) by Justin P — 03 Nov 2007
Right from the title..I'll tell you this is not a film for everyone...if you're easily offended or sensitive..don't watch this! Otherwise, it's a very powerful film showing the kinda crap black men and women went through in 1970's Harlem (drugs, mob interference, uprising against whitey) the characters are shown in a kind of stereotypical way.
..but this is one of Bakshi's most powerful film...it can be serious and funny at the same time! If you can find it...Watch This Movie! and trust me, by the end of this movie, you'll have Scat Man Crothers "I'm A Nigger Man" stuck in you're head.
..i have for almost 2 days now lol.
