Spike Lee directs this film about one man's last day of freedom before going to jail for seven years on drug charges. Edward Norton is in fine form as a man attempting to make amends with family and friends while struggling to find any sort of redemption for himself. The consummate New York filmmaker, Lee manages to boldly address his city's adaptation to post-Sept. 11 life in this film while simultaneously relating one man's inner turmoil. "One of the best movies of 2002" (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune). Spike Lee---USA---2002---134 mins.

For the final performance of Stew's Broadway sensation, Passing Strange, Spike Lee stepped in to film the semiautobiographical rock opera about a young black artist (Daniel Breaker) in 1970s L.A., who sets off to find himself in Europe through a purple haze of music, sex, and drugs. Lee captures the emotional rollercoaster performed onstage, and intercuts scenes from backstage with the original cast. "Rousing, devastating, invigorating, painful, joyful, soulful--all those adjectives don't even begin to describe Passing Strange, but it's a start" (Time Out New York).

Spike Lee's film about a corporate whistleblower turned sperm donor was one of 2004's most polarizing movies. Anthony Mackie stars as a Harvard educated biotech executive whose decision to expose shady dealings at his workplace renders him unemployed and unemployable. What begins as an inquiry into 21st century corporate greed transforms into a bawdy sex farce as Jack (Mackie) discovers a second career in the babymaking business. "Scabrous, provocative, and often funny social satire about the American dream, Spike Lee's flawed but fascinating She Hate Me addresses everything from corporate malfeasance to the African AIDS epidemic, barely catching its breath in-between" (Scott Foundas, Variety). With Ellen Barkin, Jim Brown, Brian Dennehy, Woody Harrelson, Bai Ling, Q-Tip, and John Turturro. Spike Lee---USA---2004---138 mins.
