Sie/Saw: Poetic Justice

Screens Tuesday, February 17th at 7pm as part of Black History: John Singleton’s Hood Trilogy

Once upon a time in South Central LA . . . For his follow-up to Boyz n the Hood, John Singleton again turned the camera on his hometown to create a stirring exploration of grief, love, and creativity. Built around the electric chemistry between superstars Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur, the film follows two young Angelenos—Justice, a sensitive hairdresser and poet mourning the death of her boyfriend, and Lucky, a dashingly charismatic postal clerk—as they fall in love over the course of a liberating road trip. Featuring soul-nourishing poetry by Maya Angelou, and scene-stealing performances from Regina King and Joe Torry, Poetic Justice is one of the most irresistible romances of the 1990s.

This February, Sie/Saw is giving you some films to really fall in love with! A fresh bouquet of 4K restorations, some deep cut inspirations for a pop star’s meta documentary experiment, and a salute to pioneer of modern Black filmmaking. Roses are red, violets are blue, and Sie/Saw has sweet cinematic blooms just for you.
