L’Amour à Minuit: Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (1971)

For L’Amour à Minuit’s first screening of 2025, we invite you to join us at Cinema L’Amour for Melvin van Peebles’ wholly original second feature, SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSSS SONG, which he wrote, directed, produced, composed, edited, and starred in.

“Van Peebles created the prototype for what Hollywood would eventually co-opt and make into the blaxploitation hero: a taciturn, perpetually blank-faced performer in a sex show, who, when he’s pushed too far by a pair of racist cops looking to frame him for a crime he didn’t commit, goes on the run through a lawless underground of bikers, revolutionaries, sex workers, and hippies in a kill-or-be-killed quest for liberation from white oppression.” – Janus
