Passing Strange

Spike Lee directed a film that used to be a broadway play? What?! I must see this. And, thankfully I did over the Thanksgiving break...sorry for the delayed posting. I love performance art, especially spoken word. It's like going to a concert for me. And, this film felt just like that - a concert. Spike Lee does a great job of capturing raw talent on stage and making it easily digestible through film. The storyline is funny, drama-filled, and told with rhyme and sass. The only downside was me being too sleepy to watch the whole thing through in one sitting. I finished it in two sittings...Thanksgiving wore me out! Rating - rent it from the library and enjoy!
