Black Jesus
N.p. Plaza Pictures, 1968. Vintage one sheet poster for the US release of the 1968 Italian film.
Woody Strode began his career as an American decathlete and football star, and went on to become a film actor, working in American and international films.
Both a modern, Marxist re-imagining of the Christ story, and a poetic and allegorical depiction of Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba, the film was to debut at the Cannes Film Festival, but did not screen due to the festival being canceled in support of the May 1968 Paris uprising.
26.75 x 38 inches. Folded as issued. Very Good plus, with closed tears to top corners, two chips to bottom corners and pinholes.
