Beauty 2022
From 2010s best African-American director Andrew Dosunmu comes a queer singer story with memorable and original sequences.
It's like an abstract and melancholic poem about racism & homophobia in music industry.
A timeless and alegorical African-American singer film made with delicate Wong Kar-Wai-Jerry Schatzberg touch feels like a soul/jazz song.
