Call him controversial, biased or divisive, now
Oscar-winner Spike Lee has never stopped to be relevant ever since he set the template of his groundbreaking art with
She's Gotta Have It (1986).
He wasn't always political and made many heart-warming drama/comedies but his main work explored with a critical eye and an uncompromising spirit the social, political and interracial climate in the United States during the last fifty years: the 60s with
Malcolm X (1992), the 70's with
El infiltrado del KKKlan (2018), the 80'/90s with his masterpiece
Haz lo correcto (1989) and the post-September era with
La hora 25 (2002).
Still, for all their activism or personal stances, his "joints", as he always called them, were never devoid of humor, tenderness, a camera wizardry, editing energy and musical sensibility that elevated them to unforgettable cinematic experiences as well as -to use that key word again- relevant.
