If you loved Saturday Night, try Dolemite Is My Name
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Saturday Night, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Dolemite Is My Name is
1970s Los Angeles, a vinyl record spinning, a charismatic voice. A struggling comedian becomes a blaxploitation star, his rhymes and humor fueling a character's rise. Craig Brewer revitalizes a forgotten figure's story.
