Summary
  • "A voyage into the memory of Mr. Bojangles, the celebrated tap dancer at New York's Cotton Club during the 1920's. The elegant Mr. Bojangles is played by Charles 'Honi' Coles, one of the last representatives of this storied school of dance. Og is a prehistoric caveman, a comic-strip hero. The meeting between these two poetic symbols forms the heart of this video" -- Program of 23rd International Festival of Films on Art.
