New on Blu-ray: OSCAR MICHEAUX - THE COMPLETE COLLECTION (1920-1940) - 17 Movies

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: In this unprecedented undertaking, Kino Classics, in cooperation with the Library of Congress and several international film archives, pays homage to one of cinema’s most historically important artists: Oscar Micheaux (1884-1951). Operating on shoestring budgets completely outside the studio system, Micheaux explored the Black experience with nuance and depth, often challenging the negative stereotypes so commonly portrayed in films of the era. This five-disc collection showcases the director’s entire surviving body of work, including seven new restorations: Within Our Gates, The Symbol of the Unconquered, Body and Soul, God’s Step Children, Veiled Aristocrats, Murder in Harlem, and The Notorious Elinor Lee. It also showcases Micheaux’s rarely seen genre films, such as Lying Lips, Underworld, and Swing! from the best surviving film elements.
