Contest: CLAUDINE (1974) The Criterion Collection Blu-ray – The Diahann Carroll & James Earl Jones Drama Film

Claudine (The Criterion Collection) Blu-ray Contest

FilmBook is running a Claudine (The Criterion Collection) contest for one copy of the Oscar-nominated film. “Claudine” was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 13, 2020.

“Claudine” starred Diahann Carroll, James Earl Jones, Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, Tamu Blackwell, and David Kruger.

“Claudine”‘s plot synopsis: “Diahann Carroll is radiant in an unforgettable, Oscar-nominated performance as Claudine, a strong-willed single mother, raising six kids in Harlem, whose budding relationship with a gregarious garbage collector (an equally fantastic James Earl Jones) is stressed by the difficulty of getting by in an oppressive system. Directed by John Berry, this romantic comedy with a social conscience deftly balances warm humor with a serious look at the myriad issues—from cycles of poverty to the indignities of the welfare system—that shape its characters’ realities. The result is an empathetic chronicle of both Black working-class struggle and Black joy, a bittersweet, bighearted celebration of family and community set to a sunny soul soundtrack composed by Curtis Mayfield and performed by Gladys Knight & the Pips.”
