Directed by Spike Lee | 1983
With Monty Ross, Donna Bailey, Stuart Smith
Lee’s NYU thesis film displays the brash stylistic confidence, flashes of humor, and nuanced observations on race and inner-city life that he’d soon unleash in full force in works like Do the Right Thing. After Joe gets killed by the gangsters who had been using his barbershop as a front, Zack (Ross) takes over running the business—but does he have the fortitude to resist getting mixed up with the same thugs?
