Shadows is a fitting title for this film. The film deals with racial tension in a way that disintegrates the concept of ‘race’ as a social construction. The fact that it was made during a period culminating in civil rights affairs only intensifies its advocacy. The movie itself is an exceptional example of filmic jazz, not only in its soundtrack, but also the improvisational form of the entire work. As a result, the entire experience is of a kind that feels as though it’s growing on you.
