The plot of the film is as follows: After becoming lost in space through his musical astro-travels, Sun-Ra discovers a new planet, which he deems fit for African-American colonization. He then returns to a strip-club in Chicago, where he used to play piano, in order to confront “The Overseer”, an archetypal pimp-type character. The two agree to play a hand of cards in order to decide the fate of “The Black Race” for all eternity. Then a bunch of nonsensical hijinx occur featuring strippers, hookers, evil FBI agents, impotent NASA engineers and so forth. In the end, Earth is destroyed just as Sun-Ra and his chosen disciples speed off into outer-space.</p> <div><span style="white-space: pre;"><em> </em></span></div> <p>Unsurprisingly, the film is a mess, but a good sort of mess. It appropriates the premise of Bergman’s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal" target="_blank"><strong>The Seventh Seal</strong></a>, tosses it in a bubbling pot full of blaxploitation clichés and then douses it with a thick swath of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrofuturism" target="_blank"><strong>afrofuturistic</strong></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism" target="_blank"><strong>heliocentricism</strong></a>. Or maybe it’s afrocentric heliofuturism.
