😸
Edition screened: Included in Criterion Blu-ray set #737 Les Blank: Always for Pleasure, released 2014. English language with some subtitled Creole French. Runtime approximately 57 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.
The strongest and most popular of Creolecentric titles in this set, and coincidentally containing none of the celebratory hog mutilating found endlessly entertaining by both the filmmaker and the locals in other titles.
Performances by Blue Lu Barker, Professor Longhair, and the Neville Brothers dot the documentary, along with a superb look at the Native American tribute clubs and costumes adopted by African-American.
Criterion indexes the related short film Lagniappe after Always for Pleasure, along with a 2014 documentary Celebration of a City.
