foundation film, takes an effort but amazing film
There was a time when film was slower. Shots were longer and cuts were considered an interruption. Ganja and Hess is of this era. Before you say anything, realize that image means a lot in cinema. Just the amazing imagery and in-depth account of black life without the white gaze make this an important film. The rich world of Dr. Hess unfolds with African connections, the church, and the street all make for a pioneering film with complete disdain for established norms. As a student of black cinema this along with Bush Mama and Killer of Sheep are simply must sees. For the second wave see Daughters of the dust, Dead presidents and Sankofa. While it is no night of the living dead it is an import stop in the history of the horror genre.
Watchable
Putting this on my dish I hoped for some new (unknown to me) trashy and cheesy classic horror feast of the 70s but what I got was rather lukewarm stuff, watchable, yes, but rather a boring affair. I won’t recommend Ganja & Hess but I also won’t say that you shouldn’t give it a try. Maybe you are more funky than I am.
