Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Free entry! “The most poignant, disturbing and frighteningly real film about race relations ever made by a Black American filmmaker”: ‘Do The Right Thing’ is the masterwork that cemented Spike Lee as a visionary force in US cinema. A slice-of-life hangout movie meets searing tragicomedy that follows communities clashing and combusting in the blistering heat of 1980s Brooklyn – it’s well and truly timeless. "

The Indie Classics Film Club returns Tuesday June 17th with a screening of Spike Lee’s magnum opus, DO THE RIGHT THING (1989).
