New digital restoration! This daring, warped, and brilliant acid comedy - which won the 1990 Sundance Grand Jury Prize - tells the hilarious and audacious true story of Douglas Street, a con artist who successfully impersonated a Time magazine reporter, an exchange student, and a surgeon. With a grab bag of Brechtian narrative tricks, writer-director-star Wendell B. Harris Jr. teases out the relationship between black alienation and role-playing.
