For this Sunday Slop Night, 9PM EST, it’s Jean-Pierre Melville’s caper Le Cercle Rouge (1970) and black lesbian comedy The Watermelon Woman (1996)! (CWs inside)
For this Sunday Slop Night, first up is Jean-Pierre Melville’s classic heist film Le Cercle Rouge (1970), which is often considered one of the best French movies of all time. A group of French thieves plot to steal some jewels; will they pull off the job? I guess we’ll find out. Everyone liked Melville’s Army of Shadows (1969), so this one seems like a safe bet. After that is Cheryl Dunye’s The Watermelon Woman (1996), allegedly the first feature film directed by an “out” black lesbian. It is a comedy about a black video store worker seeking to make a movie about a 1930s black actress; she finds love along the way. It has an extremely high rating on Letterboxd. Let’s give it a whirl.
We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Be there, comrades!
