BlacKkKlansman is a film of pleasures and power. One thing I was not expecting is the exhilarating way Lee explicitly engages with the power of cinematic imagery, from Birth of a Nation and Gone with the Wind to blaxploitation and beyond.

Anyway I’m gonna be reeling from that movie for a bit. Wow. With Do the Right Thing in the 80s, Malcolm X in the 90s, 25th Hour after 9/11 and now BlacKkKlansman, Lee remains, in my estimation, the great American filmmaker of the past 4 decades.

Quite a thing, too, to see this film on the anniversary of Heather Heyer’s murder. Rest in power, Heather.
