the brick consciousness hard drive went hard but overall, indulgent and perverse against the historical backdrop of american cold war militarization and counterinsurgency. also astounded by the 20 min when het sexuality hijacks all characterization and plot??

doc is refreshing in letting the history speak for itself w/ extensive quotes (w impressive citations!) and such an inundation of archival footage. handled the entanglement of jazz media cultures and global political upheaval delicately, bringing out lesser discussed conflicts and commitments within and between beloved figures like lumumba, armstrong, and malcolm x. loved the use of khrushchev pounding on the table montaged w musical and emotional crescendoes to emphasize the centrality of aesthetics, affect, and performance to the unfolding political economic violence the doc moves through.Translated from by
