Watched the The Black Panther today, found it totally compulsive, something genuinely different. I expected the low tech, realistic aesthetic but was surprised by the directors eye for a shot - this is a really visually cool movie and one I've a feeling will be ringing around my head for a good while. Still shocking too, this is no musty 'Play For Today' period piece. As per usual my only Flipside grumble is the lack of a commentary - director, writer and star are all still with us - would've been a fascinating discussion to hear.
