Restart Stages at Lincoln Center: Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing tickets
About Restart Stages at Lincoln Center: Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing - August 10
Spike Lee’s third feature marked nothing less than a revolution in American cinema, and endures today as not only a seminal portrait of New York City but also as an urgent work of art about race relations, gentrification, and the meaning of community. Set across one blazing-hot summer day in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, the film—which earned Lee his first Oscar nomination, for his original screenplay—captures, with a spellbinding blend of humor and political seriousness, the tensions, ecstasies, and agonies among a large ensemble of characters, played unforgettably by Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, Bill Nunn, Rosie Perez, Giancarlo Esposito, John Turturro, Danny Aiello (who earned an Oscar nomination for his turn as beleaguered pizzeria owner Sal), and countless others.
