Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cohen wrote 'Phone Booth' in the 1960s, then got it made in 2002 after the project sat in development hell for decades.
His blaxploitation films like 'Black Caesar' were directed by a white Jewish guy from New York — the doc barely interrogates this tension, which feels like a missed opportunity.
