Short Eyes: The Musical
I always felt Short Eyes to be a challenging and strong feature that has been somewhat neglected as it does not quite fit into the more recent fetishisation of 70's cinema - it's neither slick politicised thriller nor hip urban hustle - despite boasting an excellent Curtis Mayfield soundtrack. On reflection, its timely themes are ripe for rediscovery and I love the idea of reinventing the story as a musical: http://teapotsandflicknives.blogspot.com/2011/09/short-eyes-subverting-jukebox-musical.html
