The final entry in our year long exploration of early ‘90s black cinema sees Spike Lee tackling societal attitudes when Black architect ‘Flipper’ (Wesley Snipes at the peak of his powers) begins dating Italian-American secretary Angie (an excellent Annabella Sciorra). Surrounded by an outstanding supporting cast including Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Samuel L. Jackson, John Turturro, Frank Vincent, Halle Berry (in her film debut), Tim Robbins, Brad Dourif, Queen Latifah, Michael Imperioli, and Anthony Quinn. Funny, troubling, romantic and unflinching in equal measure, it all adds up to another searing piece of cultural conversation alongside Lee’s other works like Do The Right Thing and BlacKkKlansman.
