saw this last night on dvd. i thought the film was a vaguely interesting, pretty to look at film somewhere between superfly and any number of other subsequent films.
what was really interesting was the documentary, "a personal war"---the main feature is slicker, but the documentary is fascinating--particularly in that it shows everything the film leaves out--which bizarrely enough includes an coherent class dimension.
the documentary made me think.
the film did not.
but together, it is a fine dvd.
