Superfly

Directed by Gordon Parks

Featuring arguably the best of the blaxploitation soundtracks (by Curtis Mayfield) and the finest of fashions, SUPERFLY follows the exploits of cocaine dealer Priest as he tries to make that last big deal that’ll get him outta the business forever. Ironically, although this was one of the most popular blaxploitation films, it was the object of black pickets for its ‘glorification of drug pushers’.
