We need cancel culture, but for directors making POS movies like this one.

“It’s a Compton thang…”

Watched twice in a row. A perfect visual counterpart to one of my favorite album of all times. No plot, no message — just the music and brief raw impressions stringed together one after the other, some beautiful, some melancholic, some brutal. A stunning, little-known, 15-minutes-long gem from an incredibly talented filmmaker.

Raw and real. Right on top with La Haine, Do the Right Thing and shows like Top Boy, 4 Blocks and of course The Wire. My favorite kind of cinema.

With just a little bit of coherence, a clear message, and some respect for the viewer, this could have been a masterpiece. Too bad.

Two stars for how much I enjoyed cinematography and sound design. One because Tom Hiddleston is one handsome SOB.
