A Tuesday Night Classic. This masterful 1991 debut from Director John Singleton, for which he received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Director at just 24 years old, follows the lives of three young males living in the Crenshaw area of Los Angeles, dissecting questions of race, relationships, violence and future prospects. R / 112 min.
Mr. Singleton passed away on April 29 at the age of 51; the film industry has lost a vibrant and critical voice, and our condolences go out to all who knew him. We humbly offer this booking of BOYZ N THE HOOD in tribute to this great director, rightly placed in our Classic film series.
