This February Spike Lee’s provocative romantic drama Jungle Fever brings it all to big screen at the Senate! A modern classic of American cinema from a master of the artform, it stars Wesley Snipes and Annabella Sciorra alongside a stacked supporting cast, (Samuel L. Jackson, John Turturo, Anthony Quinn, Ossie Davis and more) and features original music from Stevie Wonder.
Inside a world of simmering racial tensions, unchecked misogyny, and the still raging crack epidemic of the early 90s, this story of an interracial extra-marital affair explores its complex themes with the daring, witty and sometimes surreal style typical of its acclaimed director. Released in 1991 two years after his signature work Do the Right Thing was met with commercial success and critical acclaim, Jungle Fever further solidified Lee’s reputation as a singular artist. Bold and unsparing, sometimes chaotic, constantly questioning and loudly political, this is a director who is always and unabashedly himself.
Nobody makes Spike Lee Joints but Spike Lee, and this film is no exception.
