"I think, therefore I scam." Arbelos Films has revealed a new trailer for the 4K restoration of this award-winning indie comedy titled Chameleon Street, which originally premiered in 1989 at the Toronto Film Festival. it then went on to win the top Grand Jury Prize at the 1990 Sundance Film Festival, but has been forgotten ever since then. "Gloriously strange… a lost masterpiece of black American cinema." Wendell B. Harris Jr. stars in, and writes / directs, the film. William Douglas Street is bored with his life. Working for his father is getting to him, his wife wants more money, and he's had enough. His solution is to re-invent himself. He becomes a "chameleon", taking on whatever role suits the situation. From reporter to doctor to lawyer, he impersonates anyone he sees a need for and he can earn money being. Based on real people and real stories. This is a bit like Catch Me If You Can, but a whole decade before Spielberg made that film. I am glad this has been restored and is finally getting its chance to shine again up on the big screen. Take a look. ›››
