A Pryor Engagement at BAM Is a Welcome Reminder of the Film Work of an Influential Comic Genius
- Excerpt: Pryor’s politically astute and personally confessional humor, mining his painful struggles with drug addiction and complicated relationships with women, found expression in classic comedy albums as well as films with varying degrees of quality. BAM’s series includes some of the more notable entries of Pryor’s vast filmography (40 films), all in 35 millimeter, and all well worth catching on the big screen.
