Directed
by
Spike
Lee
Very
interesting
shift
for
Spike
Lee,
focusing
on
the
Son
Of
Sam
murders
during
a
New
York
heat
wave
in
1977.
Naturally
intolerance
on
many
levels
make
up
part
of
the
narrative
as
it
is
told
from
the
perspective
of
a
womanizing
all
night
disco
partyboy,
with
peripheral
South
Bronx
characters
including
Italian
mooks
and
a
guy
from
the
neighbourhood
returning
as
a
punk
after
a
stint
abroad.
Besides
the
baffled
cops,
he
also
gives
the
viewer
a
glimpse
of
the
mentally
unstable
killer,
not
keeping
it
a
mystery
or
secret.
This
is
in
fact
necessary
to
substantiate
the
paranoia
growing
amid
friends
on
who
the
killer
might
be.
Another
New
York
obsession
lay
to
rest
for
Spike.
