Film Comment - 11/01/1989
"...The act of LOOKING FOR LANGSTON becomes an act of visually articulating desire, appreciating the truth of revelation....[A] lyrical mediation on Hughes..."Los Angeles Times - 01/26/1990
"...Elegant....LOOKING FOR LANGSTON is exceptionally poignant and imaginative..."Sight and Sound - 10/01/2005
"It's a dense, heady mix, artfully constructed, politically resonant and full of sensuality."This stylish biography of noted African American poet Langston Hughes combines archival footage from the Cotton Club and photos by Robert Mapplethorpe to highlight the differing attitudes about homosexuality yesterday and today.
This stylish avant-garde film is a meditation on the work of acclaimed black poet Langston Hughes. The film reclaims and celebrates Langston Hughes as an important black gay voice in American culture. Original footage of the Cotton Club in the 1920s, archival footage depicting the Harlem Renaissance period, and Robert Mapplethorpe's photos of beautiful black men set the scene for this exploration of attitudes toward homosexuality.
