Inspired by the French New Wave, but unmistakeably his own, film provocateur Melvin Van Peebles’s first feature brims with humor, heart, and societal discourse. After exiling himself to France from a Hollywood he couldn’t crack, Van Peebles embarked on changing cinema from across the world, adopting stylistic elements from the French, but infusing his own realities as a Black man into this beautiful film that juxtaposes the thrill of summer romance with the realities of racism in the world at large. Harry Reid is a Black American soldier granted a furlough in Paris. He meets a woman in a nightclub and their love begins to blossom, until society encroaches on their interracial relationship with its own prejudices. Sweet and subversive, this vital piece of cinema is as charming as it is groundbreaking.
