From Amazon.com
Spike Lee's 1991 story about an interracial relationship and its consequences on the lives and communities of the lovers (Wesley Snipes, Annabella Sciorra) is one of his most captivating and focused films. Snipes and Sciorra are very good as individuals trying to reach beyond the limits imposed upon them for reasons of race, tradition, sexism, and such. Lee makes an interesting and subtle case that they are driven to one another out of frustration with social obstacles as well as pure attraction--but is that enough for love to survive? John Turturro is featured in a subplot as an Italian American who grows attracted to a black woman and takes heat from his numbskull buddies. Also available in DVD. --Tom Keogh

Chronique amazon.fr
Ce film de 1991, qui traite d'une relation interraciale et de ses répercussions dans la vie et l'entourage d'un couple d'amoureux, est une des oeuvres les plus captivantes de Spike Lee. Flipper (Wesley Snipes) et Angela (Annabella Sciorra) sont deux êtres qui regardent au-delà des préjugés de couleur, de tradition, de sexe... Lee se demande si leur relation ne relève pas autant de la frustration causée par les obstacles sociaux quotidiens que d'une simple attirance physique. Est-ce suffisant pour que leur amour survive ? Une histoire parallèle met en scène John Turturro dans le rôle d'un Italo-Américain encaissant les insultes de ses copains racistes pour son béguin pour une femme noire. Egalement disponible en DVD. --Tom Keogh
