WATTSTAX
Whatcha See Is Watcha Get says the opening song. Wattstax, the dynamic film of the 1972 Los Angeles event attended by over 10,000 concertgoers and first billed as the "black Woodstock," getcha plenty! Its performances burn with vitality. Its forays into the neighborhood are a time capsule of pride and pain. And the Richard Pryor comedy riffs that provide the running commentary are a treasure all by themselves.
