June 19th: American Fiction
Wednesday, June 19, 2024 at 7pm – American Fiction – 2023 – R - 1h 27m
An incredible social comedy-drama, from first-time writer/director Cord Jefferson, writer on The Good Place and HBO’s Watchmen.
This satire follows a frustrated novelist-professor, Jeffrey Wright, who writes a satire of stereotypical “Black” books, only for it to be mistaken for serious literature and published to high sales and critical praise. The film also stars Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae and Sterling K. Brown, and was named one of the top 10 films of 2023 by the American Film Institute. It received five Academy Awards nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and it won Best Adapted Screenplay.
