Sweet Sweetback`s Baadasssss Song (DVD)
Putting black cinema on the map and ushering in the legendary blaxploitation genre of the 1970s, Melvin Van Peebless SWEET SWEETBACKS BAADASSSSS SONG is a thrilling work of entertainment as well as a historically and ideologically significant essay on the issue of race. The film tells the story of Sweetback (Van Peebles), an apolitical black sex performer who becomes a reluctant picaresque hero when he kills the two white policemen who brutalized a young prisoner for racist reasons. On the run to Mexico, he encounters all manner of provocatively stereotypical characters, including a shower-capped ghetto thug who won`t help him, a hypocritical Baptist preacher who also won`t help him, and, of course, a host of women who can`t get enough of his supercharged sexuality.
Working overtime as producer, editor, and co-composer (along with Earth, Wind and Fire), Van Peebles delivers a film that is the true definition of an independent. Incorporating striking cinematic techniques into his production--including split screens, freeze-frames, and use of film negatives--he single-handedly creates a new cinematic genre, proving that true innovation comes from individual human spirit, not assembly-line studio efforts.R"
