Buck and the Preacher (Blu-Ray Disc, 2022, Criterion Collection)

Description: Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte join forces in Poitier’s directorial debut, a landmark that reclaims the western in the name of Black liberationWith his rousingly entertaining directorial debut, Sidney Poitier helped rewrite the history of the western, bringing Black heroes to a genre in which they had always been sorely underrepresented.Combining boisterous buddy comedy with blistering, Black Power–era political fury, Poitier and a marvelously mischievous Harry Belafonte star as a tough and taciturn wagon master and an unscrupulous, pistol-packing “preacher,” who join forces in order to take on the white bounty hunters threatening a westward-bound caravan of recently freed enslaved people.A superbly crafted revision-ist landmark, Buck and the Preacher subverts Hollywood conventions at every turn and reclaims the western genre in the name of Black liberation.Special Edition FeaturesNew 4K digital restorationNew interview with Mia Mask, author of "Black Rodeo: A History of the African American Western"New interview with Gina Belafonte, daughter of Harry BelafonteBehind-the-scenes footage featuring Poitier and BelafonteAnd more Please check out my store for select categories.
