As the Black New Wave was ending, there was still room for something new…even if‘new’ was only new to Hollywood. Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It in 1986 put the spotlight on black love. Eddie Murphy’s Boomerang kept it on in 1992 but with a focus on comedy.
Much like House Party, Theodore Witcher’s Love Jones shows a very human experience through a perspective rarely seen in cinemas…black artists living in a city and falling in love. Led by the realistic performances of the two leads’ (Larenz Tate, Nia Long), its radiant dialogue, and its atmospheric cinematography, Love Jones is as seductive of a romance for your mind as it is for your heart.
When a poet and a photographer share an instant connection and a reluctance to commit, will their love of art and an irresistible chemistry be enough to keep them together?
