MALCOLM X (1992) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Spike Lee

Written by - Arnold Perl, Spike Lee (based on a book by Alex Haley and Malcolm X)

Starring - Denzel Washington

"In bringing the life of African American leader Malcolm X to the screen, Spike Lee is not afraid to be brutally sincere, daring and even uncomfortable. Filmed with Lee’s usual great visual flair, and supported by a powerhouse performance from Denzel Washington, its only fault lies in its director’s usual over indulgence which clearly shows in eccentric finale, Spike Lee gives the figure of Malcolm X a glorifying portrait, making him look like one of the most important and a times misunderstood icons of the 20^th century."

Biopic, USA/Japan
