Stafford Film Theatre: American Fiction
AMERICAN FICTION
Cord Jefferson / USA 2023 / 116 min / Cert 15
Thelonius Monk Ellison is a literature professor and novelist, whose highbrow fiction works sell poorly. Angered by the accusation that his writing ignores 'the African-American experience', Monk pseudonymously pens a stereotypical 'Black novel which gains widespread acclaim. Soon he's complaining to his agent: The dumber I behave, the richer I get. This delightful satirical comedy is an Oscar and Critic's Choice winner for best adapted screenplay. Elegantly walking a line between absurdist satire and family drama, this is a clever send-up of how the broadne3ss of Black culture gets reduced to cliché. (Empire).
