Medicine for Melancholy
A one-night stand between social activist Micah and affluent professional Joanne becomes complicated when the two spend the following day together, exploring their identities as twenty-something African Americans with different political and philosophical worldviews. Barry Jenkins’s first feature is gorgeous meditation on race, class, and identity, set against the backdrop of a dreamy, monochromatic San Francisco. (2008, dir. Barry Jenkins, 88 min.)
