Directed by Lionel Rogosin • 1972 • United States
An uncompromising, often discomfitingly frank look at the complexities of interracial relationships in America, this rarely seen documentary unfolds from the perspective of Jim Collier, a Black musician married to a white woman, as he expounds, with sometimes startling honesty, upon the political, sexual, racial, and power dynamics that define his relationship. Manifesting Collier’s thoughts and fantasies in highly stylized images, director Lionel Rogosin forces viewers to confront the charged realities of a taboo subject.
