I got to see CONFESSIONSOFA-EX-DOOFUS-ITCHYFOOTED MUTHA, Melvin van Peebles first American film in a long time, as the closing film of the Maryland film festival, just days after being premiered at Tribeca. The legendary African-American director Melvin van Peebles broke ground with the bizarre and yet incredible SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAADASSSSS SONG, and this newest film meets all the criteria of a van Peebles film.
The director himself plays an old man and former adventurer who begins to recall his wild and wacky adventures from his teenage years to middle-age. We see flashbacks of his life throughout. Instead of getting other actors to play his character in these different flashbacks, van Peebles plays himself throughout. He is a 75 year old man playing himself from ages 14 to 45ish.
Melvin van Peebles will always remain an essential figure not only to African-American cinema but to independent cinema. I like to think of him as a combination of Spike Lee and John Cassavetes. And CONFESSIONSOFA EX-DOOFUS-ITCHYFOOTED MUTHA is a real independent film.
The adventures created for van Peebles' character are some of the most creative ever. There are so many ridiculous things throughout it becomes comedic. I got to hear a talk from the man himself after the film, and he is just like the character he played in CONFESSIONSOFA. Must see!
