ìÖ a movie that enters our film history so decisively it seems like itís always been there.î
                   J. Hoberman, The Village Voice

ìThe structure of this work ñ now hailed as a landmark in black American cinema ñ is a film-within-a-film, but that is only the staring point.î
                   Desmond Ryan, The Philadelphia Inquirer

ìÖan unappreciated gem.î

                   The Brooklyn Museumís Program Notes 

ìÖ the film holds up now in terms of relevance better than ever. When itís not just plain funny, itís brutally hones.  As much as the crew in the film questions the motives and mentality of their director, in real life, we find ourselves questioning the assumptions that inform our actions and reactions in various political scenarios.
