Spike Lee: That's My Story and I'm Sticking to It

di Spike Lee (Autore)

WW Norton & Co, 2006

Spike Lee tells the cinematic story of the preeminent director, whose pioneering films-from Do The Right Thing, Jungle Fever, and Malcolm X to 25th Hour , Bamboozled, and The Inside Man-helped transform the face of late twentieth-century America. With unprecedented access to the Lee family and new interviews with stars and celebrities-including Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Rosie Perez, Adrien Brody, John Turturro, and many others-film critic Kaleem Aftab chronicles Spike Lee's explosive rise to stardom, exploring such important issues as Black Nationalism, Hollywood stereotyping, and the rise of a powerful black middle class. Lee's prominence in American culture continues in 2006 with the release of The Inside Man and a forthcoming documentary on Hurricane Katrina. Spike Lee tells us as much about the last two decades of American social history as it does about the life of this fascinating director.
