WEST INDIES: THE FUGITIVE SLAVES OF LIBERTY (1979) • Entering the Criterion Collection in June! Mauritanian French firebrand Med Hondo puts colonialism itself on trial in this one-of-a-kind musical spectacular—a collective effort of unprecedented scale and ambition that proved a watershed event in African cinema.

As Kyle states, this is a psychoanalysis of SINNERS the film, not Ryan the man (and Kyle has access to one and not the other). Ryan's motivations are for him to know and him alone. But THRILLING to see a work of art engaged the way folks are engaging this fantastic film 🖤

I’m the host and producer of this documentary about the Mississippi Delta Chinese video & also cultural consultant on @SinnersMovie! Ryan Coogler and his team were meticulous about the details—truly an honor to see nonfiction enter the fiction space in this spectacular way.
wow ryan cooler really paid homage, I did not know this about the delta! #Sinners

Signal boosting because Alice Tully's converging lines make for perfect Academy Ratio viewing and, given the way RaMell & DP Jomo Fray lean WAY into the formalism of NICKEL BOYS being every bit as invigorating as the history they're dismantling, this is THEE screening to see it
Only a few tickets remain for tonight's #NYFF62 Opening Night screenings of NICKEL BOYS! Get yours: filmlinc.org/nickelboys

My my my cannot wait to see this!!! Between this, ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL, PIANO LESSON, BLKNWS: TERMS & CONDITIONS (Kahlil's magnum opus, a deeply emphatic film) and JIMMY, the next six months is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
RaMell Ross' Nickel Boys is a staggering achievement. as radical, visionary & moving as any commercial American film this decade (low bar, but still), as well as a towering reminder of the heights that literary adaptations should aspire towards my review: indiewire.com/criticism/movi…

I've seen this film. Malcolm gave himself fully to this, takes the stage play to another realm. It is not a play on film. It is August Wilson posited on an astral plane. As he should. Believe what you see here. Because it's been weeks and I have not been able to shake this film.
Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, and Danielle Deadwyler star in The Piano Lesson, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by August Wilson. From director Malcolm Washington. In select theaters this November and on Netflix November 22.

Who on earth made the decision to move Kerley to anchor? Coleman has been handing it off to Kerley for like 4-5 years at major championships, and we have a history of not getting the stick around. Why change the whole relay completely? Terrible coaching choice.

In which I sit down with journalist Edward Mendez for his first interview ever and… the resulting conversation, which happened over a month ago so reads very fresh to me, has the spark of a genuine and open bit of communion 💆🏿‍♂️
