Passing Strange

It takes a special kind of talent to film a Broadway show and make it exciting for a theatrical audience, and few have done it as well as director Spike Lee does with this energetic and intense musical. It’s the story of a young Californian that’s fed up and frustrated with his boring middle-class life, so he packs his bag and heads to Amsterdam to find out what life has to offer him. He finds almost more than he can handle, but eventually discovers the connection between life and art that he’s been looking for.
