American film critic Elvis Mitchell’s kaleidoscopic documentary creates a definitive narrative of the Black revolution in 1970s cinema, from genre films to social realism—a work of painstaking scholarship that’s also thoroughly entertaining, an essential archival document and testament to a period of American film history unlikely to be repeated. 当年在LACMA看片总会见到Elvis Mitchell做映前介绍和主持Q&A,所以这片看着很有亲切感。重点在于对70年代blaxploitation片的梳理,干货满满。但中段稍有流水账之感,一些论点也很值得商榷(比如70年代末主流电影重拾传统英雄形象显然不仅是受到了黑片的启发),但对于这段电影史来说绝对是很不错的入门教材
