Shot on original '70s 16mm stock, 'Muhammad Ali' is a pristine evocation of a time, a place and a culture - a 1970s Harlem ghetto. James Brown's promo has the flavour of a feature film, cross-cutting between rapper Maxi Jazz watching the fight, scenes of jubilation after Ali's triumph and a small boy who idolises the boxer learning to stand up to his enemies. It's a triumph of authenticity, with beautifully integrated costume, set design, shot choreography and editing.
