PH Cult Selects: FOXY BROWN

After teaming up for the acclaimed COFFY, filmmaker Jack Hill and star Pam Grier reunited for the wildly entertaining FOXY BROWN. Proving once again that Pam Grier is a force of nature onscreen, this film about a woman who goes out for revenge against the drug dealers who killed her boyfriend is a subversive feminist statement under the guise of a standard blaxploitation film. A major influence on countless subsequent films including Quentin Tarantino’s JACKIE BROWN (which also starred Pam Grier), this wonderful original holds up beautifully as a glorious ode to female power.

Jack Hill is a filmmaker best known for his acclaimed cult films SPIDER BABY, COFFY, FOXY BROWN, and SWITCHBLADE SISTERS, among many others.
