Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from ‘Black’ entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish ‘Black’ book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Wright) and Best Supporting Actor (Brown).
This film is distributed by Curzon.
