Film Screening: _Bamboozled_
February 6—Bamboozled (Spike Lee, U.S., 2000)
At the time of its release, Spike Lee's media satire was widely rejected as too outlandish, too out of touch with reality. How could America be swept by a blackface minstrelsy craze? Today, the film looks less like a paranoid fantasy and more like a prescient, speculative fiction.
