AMERICAN FICTION
Oscar-nominated must-see hilarious indie hit with Jeffrey Wright in a note-perfect performance as an author pandering to a white appetite for Black trauma.
Director: Cord Jefferson
117 MINS / 2023 / USA
Cord Jefferson’s hilarious directorial debut confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes.
Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write his own outlandish “Black” book – that propels him into the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. Oscar nominated must-see indie hit!
