Lost cause

We watched Black Klansmen last night. I enjoyed it very much indeed. Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing is one of my favourite films but this came in around second place. Funny, sad and light of touch, with a remarkable ability to push, push, push and then stop, holding the pressure. Spike Lee is not a filmmaker with a reputation for subtlety, but this film should show how wrong that is. Fantastic film and it says something that the Oscar went to Green Book.
