Jungle Fever (1991)
Architetto nero di New York, con moglie e figlia, ha una relazione con la segretaria italoamericana, che ha il babbo e due fratelli a carico. Male accolta nei rispettivi ambienti, la loro storia li fa espellere dalle famiglie. Passata la febbre, vi rientrano. L'intrigo, semplice, del 5° film dell'afroamericano Lee serve per affrontare 2 temi principali: i rapporti interrazziali e quello della droga (da lui condannata con lucido furore). Concretezza, lucidità, energia e irridente umorismo sono le qualità del film, al servizio dell'efficacia del disegno dei personaggi. Superba compagnia di interpreti, colonna musicale curata da Stevie Wonder con le voci di Frank Sinatra e Mahalia Jackson. Premio a Cannes per S.L. Jackso
