Shot in black-and-white and sepia tones, No You Cyant Touch It! incorporates an understanding of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality as it deals with Black women’s favourite obsession - hair - from an interesting perspective. The film’s creatrix and subject examines the link between her locks, her Black, queer identity, and other people’s understanding/assumptions of who she is and where she “belongs.” The stark tones and political subject matter are mediated by T.J. Bryan’s lyrical poetics.
