Often cited as one of the most moving films ever to deal with racism in America, Spike Lee's masterpiece is immediately both more comic and more nerve-wracking than can be imagined before it is experienced. Taking place over a scorching 24 hours across a few Brooklyn city blocks, the film assembles a crowd of characters facing tensions both racial and personal, goading the viewer to take a side as the tensions rise. This filmonce protested by critics out of fear that it would provoke violence, and later declared one of the 10 best films of the 1980sis a cultural landmark not to be missed.
