   Pretty remarkable that a movie from a major studio in the '60s presents radical Black politics without apology and lets the characters' ideological differences bristle against each other in full view without feeling the need to temper any of it for mainstream consumption.

   “Up Tight” is a good and interesting film, however, because of isolated elements. It has blunt and direct dialog; it has several powerful performances; It has moments of truth (as when the cops gun down a militant leader, while residents of a project rain down tin cans and invective).

   Is 'uptight' a good movie?

   • Uptight is out now on Blu-Ray in Australia, released by Via Vision as part of their Imprint Collection. It looks very nice, with wonderfully rich colours, a crisp image and very little damage. I spotted a faint line in portions of the last half of the film but this was barely noticeable, even on a projector screen.

   Is 'uptight' on Blu-ray?

   • Uptight has since been rediscovered, thankfully, and touted as an important and powerful film that is developing a very strong reputation. To further bolster this, Imprint are releasing the film on Blu-ray. Intrigued, I got hold of a copy and my thoughts follow. The film is set in Cleveland, Ohio, just days after the death of Martin Luther King Jr.

   Uptight is gritty movie about racial issues in America after the death of Martin Luther King. The movie does a really good job of encapsulating the anger and helplessness felt by the African American communities at the time.
