A Good Day to be Black and Sexy.
My DEAR DEAR FRIEND, MZB [twitter.com/quietasitskept FOLLOW HIM] is infamous for his taste in music and film. MZB knows what he likes and that's just how it is. NOT to say that he's close minded---because that's definitely not the case! Though our taste in music and film differ greatly, every now and then we find a common denominator. This weekend he mentioned that he purchased a film "A Good Day to be Black and Sexy"...I thought it would be something like "Nora's Hair Salon" or one of those BET type films. Not at all. I only caught the last three vignettes but I really enjoyed what I saw. Then upon further inspection of the DVD case I realized this movie went to Sundance in 2008! The movie is very tongue and cheek. It's Dennis Dortch's directorial debut! He really explored and dispelled common stereotypes while keeping everything authentic and in perspective. What I also liked was the fact that it was super sexy but not the least bit raunchy. The movie is awesome. THANKS MZB!
Synopsis of the Film:
Writer/director/editor Dennis Dortch explores the subject of sexuality and relationships within the black community in this collection of six vignettes set in Los Angeles and designed to shatter stereotypes about black sexuality. From the woman determined to get hers first to the curious teenager who finds herself in a questionable situation and the boy who becomes stifled by interracial taboos, Dortch's film doesn't shy away from the more controversial aspects of contemporary sexuality. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
