Do the Right Thing (1989)

Dir. Spike Lee | USA | 1989 | 120 min. | R | 4K DCP

Set in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, what begins as an uproarious comedy evolves into a provocative, disquieting drama as director Spike Lee chronicles a sweltering day in a largely Black neighborhood — and the trivial events that explode into violence and tragedy. Spike Lee’s rousing film heralded the arrival of a new voice. Thirty-six years later, DO THE RIGHT THING is still holding up a mirror to our society, and challenges all of us to see ourselves in one another. And it still makes us laugh.

If anyone’s down, we could meet up for a drink at a bar nearby before the movie.
