The Signifyin' Works of Marlon Riggs [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray]

Criterion Collection / (2Pc) (Br)

Overview

"There has never been a filmmaker like Marlon Riggs: an unapologetic gay Black man who defied a culture of silence and shame to speak his truth with resounding joy and conviction. An early adopter of video technology, Riggs employed a bold mix of documentary, performance, poetry, and music in order to confront the devastating legacy of racist stereotypes, the impact of AIDS on his community, and the very definition of what it means to be Black. Bringing together Riggs's complete films-including his controversy-inciting queer landmark Tongues Untied and Black Is . . . Black Ain't, the deeply personal swan song that was completed after his death at the age of thirty-seven-The Signifyin' Works of Marlon Riggs traces the artistic and political evolution of a transformative filmmaker whose work is both an electrifying call for liberation and an invaluable historical document. Films in this set: Ethnic Notions (1986) Tongues Untied (1989) Affirmations (1990) Anthem (1991) Color Adjustment (1992) Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien (No Regret) (1993) Black Is . . . Black Ain't (1995)"
