Why watch this film?
Based on the novel 'Clockers' (from which it took its original title), written by Richard Price -- who co-wrote the screenplay with director Spike Lee, 'Brothers of Blood' is the ninth feature film in the filmmaker's career, already demonstrating a stylistic maturity put to the service of the story. The production is, in short, a film that goes beyond its drug-dealing characters, corrupt or idealistic police officers, to analyze the complex dynamics that exist in the United States between races, law enforcement and marginal communities (usually African Americans), perpetually trapped in inevitable poverty and criminality. It is perhaps one of Lee's strangest films, as it began as a project by Martin Scorsese. However, the director manages to tell an important and urgent story with his particular vision. It was selected for the 1995 Venice Film Festival.
