Review of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971) by Adam T — 30 Dec 2015
What starts with an unexpected borderline child porn scene, the movie soon turns into an hour-and-a-half long chase montage of the police against a black male prostitute. The whole movie is pretty ridiculous with its psychedelic, some times nearly incomprehensible, quick editing and loose plot.
.. and that's probably why it is a cult classic. Also considered the first blaxploitation film, it's worth watching for a piece of film history. But for overall enjoyment, later blax. movies are much more exciting.
