Mostly talking heads but still some interesting bits about Mario Van Peebles' life
How To Eat Your Watermelon is a documentary about Melvin Van Peebles and his artistic creations. Unfortunately it’s mostly talking heads with some archival footage of him plus shots from some of his movies. There are still interesting parts. For instance, I didn’t know he got his start making movies in France where he was also a writer. I’d also forgotten that he did records and plays. It highlights how much of an agent provocateur Van Peebles was. He was very calculating in being controversial and anti-establishment.
