A Spike Lee Collection

Film Description

Three films from the controversial American auteur.

Malcolm X (1992)

Whilst perhaps not as raw as other Lee works, Malcolm X remains a solid account of the trajectory of its subject from petty criminal to political icon. Denzel Washington brings all his presence to bear on what was for many Americans the key role of his time. The opening sequence skates close to the incendiary.

She's Gotta Have It (1986)

Nola Darling has three different men in her life. All three men want her to commit solely to them, forcing her to make a choice. But is the choice she makes what she really wants?

Summer of Sam (1999)

Spike Lee focuses on a tight knit group of New Yorkers coping with fraught relationships, a heatwave and the legendary killing spree of David Berkowitz during the summer of 1977.
