 REVIEW: Blaxploitation Verite? Hughes Brothers' "American Pimp"
And that's part of the allure of the Hughes Brothers' documentary, "American Pimp," a strange, often funny and shockingly frank portrait of urban fl pimps whose lives are given to more self-parody and caricature than any 1970s blaxploitation movie could ever be.
The Hughes brothers -- twins Allen and Albert, known for "Menace II Society" and "Dead Presidents" -- spent two years, $100,000 of their own money and gobs of 16mm film stock to create this portrait of what is portrayed as, sadly, one of the few positions of respect in many contemporary fl communities.
And the directors do a great job of disguising the fact this is really a bunch of talking heads; interviews are conducted while pimps are cruising their "track" (territory) in their big cars, or while getting a haircut (humorously, Redd is shot from between his legs looking up), and the editing is crisp.
