Looking for Langston |
| This experimental Berlin Film Festival award-winner by artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien (BAADASSSSS CINEMA) is a meditation on gay black identity and desire, framed by the life of poet Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance. More personal essay/fantasy than biography, LOOKING FOR LANGSTON mixes archive footage and Hughes's poetry with black-and-white dramatic scenes - luminous compositions that recall the work of George Platt Lynes and Robert Mapplethorpe - featuring Ben Ellison as Langston Hughes and Matthew Baidoo as his lover. | |
