Jungle Fever

Screening on Film

Directed by Spike Lee.
With Wesley Snipes, Annabella Sciorra, Samuel L. Jackson.
US, 1991, 35mm, color, 132 min.

A married African-American architect (Snipes) has an affair with his Italian-American secretary (Sciorra), much to the chagrin of their respective families and friends. Spike Lee generated his usual share of controversy upon the film’s release for his bold questions of interracial sexual desire. Among the outstanding cast members, Jackson is particularly compelling as the architect’s crack-addicted brother.
