Movies Watched -- Drylongso (1998)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

81 minute running time. This was like a homemade movie, and there’s no real story here, it’s sort of a hodgepodge of ideas, but I did watch all of it and was glad I did because I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s a black culture movie, sort of… it stars a beautiful dark-skinned black girl, who has a lot of spunk, and also a light-skinned black girl, who likes to dress up as a boy.

I’ve been working my way through the list of Criterion Closet Picks that have only been chosen once. Zeinabu Irene Davis was the sole person to recommend this movie, and I’m glad she did. It gets a yellow (consider it) rating from me (not green-go, not red-stop).
