Der Literaturbetrieb liebt das Elend, solange es sich gut verkauft. Hier wird diese Obsession nicht nur verspottet, sondern seziert. Präzise, Boshaft, und mit einem Lächeln, das schmerzt. Regisseur und Drehbuchautor Cord Jefferson adaptiert den Roman Erasure von Percival Everett und verwandelt ihn in eine bitterkomische Abrechnung mit einem Kulturbetrieb, der Schwarze Erfahrung normiert, verengt und kolonisiert. (ARD, Free-TV-Premiere!)

bad idea: watching a documentary about a food critic in los angeles that loves mexican food.

this is a problem for me living in the middle of wisconsin at 8a and wanting a burrito. as i grew up in tucson, you could *most definitely* get a burrito from nico's at 5a because we were up all night seeing bands play or watching movies. we were all vegan straightedge back then so we would get bean, potato, and pico de gallo burritos (and we never ever ever discussed if there was lard in the beans because you know there was) and then pass out at home in a food coma. mid to late 90's in tucson was a fun and/or difficult time for me but has plenty of good memories.

i lucked out living in albuquerque 20 years later, having a similar place to nico's called filbreto's located a mile from my apartment. we would get bean and cheese burritos for $5, playing video games, watching movies, and listening to music for the next few hours. it was fun at the time.

the writer and director of the film "american fiction", cord jefferson, was a part of our little group of punk rock kids although i didnt know him as i was in college when he started high school. he wrote the following article about shenanigans at nicos and about growing up black in tucson.

(btw: if you havent seen american fiction, you really need to. its quintessential black american film and probably one of the best films of this decade imo.)
