Mitchell’s doc functions best as an educational primer, a (long) tasting menu that will not only expand your palette but leave you hungry for more. An expository feature-length documentary works, but bits of substance inevitably get lost to the cuts, edits and elisions required of the form. (According to press notes, Mitchell shopped Is That Black Enough for You?!? around to different publishing houses, all of which turned him down.) The material he presents - rich, varied and incisive - is perfect fodder for a written text or, dare I say, a longer series. Sitting through the film, which covers an impressive amount of ground in its more than two-hour runtime, I bristled at publishers’ rejections of Mitchell’s book proposal. Is That Black Enough for You?!?‘s ambition is an achievement, but such a voluminous study needs the right medium. He engages with a horde of films - from William Greaves’ Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One and Melvin Van Peebles’ Watermelon Man to Gordon Parks Jr.’s Super Fly - to craft an argument about how Black directors, performers, writers and musicians reinvigorated cinema through both formal and narrative experimentation.

This bold flavor profile alongside medium to heavy tannins makes Malbec the perfect pour when well-marbled cuts of meat are on the menu.Venue: New York Film Festival (Spotlight) Expect dark fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum along with notes of ground pepper, dark chocolate, espresso bean, leather and pipe tobacco. More producers than ever are bottling versions from Mendoza’s subregions, including Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo. Higher altitudes in Mendoza and Salta and colder year-round temperatures in Rio Negro have caused Argentine Malbec to develop a thicker skin, which leads to stronger tannins than you may find in Malbec raised elsewhere. While the majority of Argentina’s Malbec grows in Mendoza, whose vineyards climb from 457 meters (1,500 feet) to 1,700 meters (5,577 feet), it is also cultivated in even higher altitude vineyards in Salta to the north and closer to sea level in the cold Rio Negro region in the country’s south.
