Featured review
One of great documentaries because you feel , with same emotion, each scene. It is not easy to define it. No doubts, it is a hommage, portrait , eulogy , remember but, first, manifesto. A film about a symbol of Harlem with status of its brain and heart. A film about memorable actors and singers and entertainers and ressurection. A film about hard fights and hard work. And, more important, a fresco of ages of self definition. Well crafted is the first term to define it. Being not enough. Not, it is more than a good documentary . Its flavor after the final credits , as sihouette of state of soul proofs that.
