BlacKkKlansman review – Spike Lee hits his targets again and again
Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman lights up like a pinball machine, pinging and flashing and clattering with N-bombs, blaxploitation tropes, strategic anachronisms and unsubtle premonitions of the New Trump Order. That’s a rephrasing gag-tactic – meaning that at one point someone actually talks about finding “the means for America to reclaim its former greatness”.
The movie is a broad satirical comedy of the 70s race war in the United States, a tale of passing for black and passing for white, and all based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, the black Colorado police officer who masterminded the infiltration of a local KKK chapter by posing as a white bigot over the phone and sending in white officers for face-to-face work.
Special Guest: Stan Mason
