Must Rent "Story of a Three-Day Pass"

It's a film Van Peebles made in France in his early years.

And there is also the legendary "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song."

"Confessionsofa" is nothing like the descriptions friends of mine have given about "Sweet ..." These women don't know each other: one is a black photographer; one is a white lawyer; neither is easily shocked or offended. But they didn't like anything about "Sweet Sweetback."

Still, I want to see it -- all the more now.
