Incluvie Classics - 'Ganja & Hess'
'Ganja & Hess' is a 1973 experimental horror film, written and directed by the visionary auteur Bill Gunn. It was meant to be a straightforward blaxploitation film – but director Gunn had grander ambitions.

On the day Clémence realizes that no one has ever admired her, her father dies. Lulled by the illusions of the remnants of a complicated childhood, Clémence has no choice but to rebuild her self-esteem, which she never thought could be so low. When fate brings her together with a certain Paul, whom everyone nicknames Paul Pot because of his strong tendency toward tyranny, Clémence asks herself the only question that matters: is this the right person?

If you enjoy the bizarre, silly and entertaining world of the horror B-movies and want a break from the nuanced and poignant big budget horror releases, I have a list of gore-fests from the last ten years to enjoy this October.
'Motherless Brooklyn' is a 1950s whodunit made by its star, Edward Norton. Like most detective films in this setting, the cast is mostly white males (with a few notable exceptions).
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
A teen comedy that nobody wants to see.
