SUBLIME CINEMA #209 - CROOKLYN
I just love this film. It might be Spike Lee’s most personal work, he wrote it with his sister Joie, and it’s filled with great, positive energy that sizzles and pops through the screen. He was telling stories about the streets of New York that now feel like anthropological documentaries (anybody who’s been to Bed Stuy these days knows how intensely it’s changed since back in the day.)
Back in the 90s, Lee was pumping out one great NYC film after another, aside from Do the Right Thing, there was Mo Better Blues, Malcolm X, Clockers, Jungle Fever and Summer of Sam, which were all essential in their ways.
