Wesley Snipes, Annabella Sciorra, Spike Lee, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee

Spike Lee's 1991 story about an interracial relationship and its consequences on the lives and communities of the lovers (Wesley Snipes, Annabella Sciorra) is one of his most captivating and focused f...( read more  read more... )ilms.
