Storyline The First Breeze of Summer follows a turbulent time in a working class African-American family,
where two unhappy sons come to a head with their stern, overworked
father, while the grandmother wistfully recalls her long-lost youthful
affairs.
Storyline Mick Jade, a former tennis bum-turned-Las Vegas song-and-dance man,
doubles as a private eye with two female dancers, Ebony and Ivory, in
which the trio go undercover to protect a lady scientist from
international hit-men as she heads for Washington D.C. from the Middle
East with her super-secret formulas.
Storyline This film is not for the thin-skinned or easily offended. The tiny desert town of Cicada is a Checkerboard of poverty and racial
tension that explodes when Bob, a 20-year-old white Army veteran, asks
the lovely black-skinned Bessie to the Saturday night dance. Uh oh. Bob
is attacked by white bigots though a hooker blames the attack on the
blacks. Before long, a lynch mob is looking for someone -- anyone -- to
hang and almost strings up Bob until -- get this -- he throws his fake
leg at them.... Imagine Southern-style sleaze done as an off-kilter art
film by the French and you might have some idea of what to expect from
this bizarre mix of sex, racism, and cynical humor...
