Foxy Brown

Friday, May 13 - Saturday, May 14, 2011

“With her strong, chiseled features and take-no-prisoners attitude, Pam Grier was the best of the blaxploitation heroines of the 70s, transcending the tawdriness of vehicles like this one through sheer presence… she [functions] simultaneously as heroine and victim, avenger and sex kitten, conscience of the community and law unto herself… [the film’s] mixed message—and its potential to offend virtually everyone—still makes it a powerful discussion starter. Grier’s Foxy has to rescue her younger brother from a drug ring, fight organized crime, and prevent a drug shipment from reaching the streets of her community.” – Chicago Reader
