I was a theater usher for this at the small theater at the art museum and I remember the last hour just hearing people intermittently quietly crying in their seats

I like how despite being based on a novel by one of the most lyrical writers of the 20th century that this isn’t heavy handed on exposition or dialogue, and instead lets the scenes play out cinematically

I first became aware of Colman Domingo when I saw in “Passing Strange” on PBS’s “Great Performances”. Between that and other 70s period stuff like “If Beale Street Could Talk” he as the opposite of “iPhone Face” to me

📚 Boek & Film bij Concordia: #IfBealeStreetCouldTalk
Maandag 26 mei verdiepen we ons in James Baldwins' roman en de verfilming van Barry Jenkins. Met inleiding en nabespreking door Janneke Blenke!
Ook zonder het boek gelezen te hebben, is deze avond zeker de moeite waard! Je bent van harte welkom!
“I hope that nobody has ever had to look at anybody they love through glass.” I think to read this book is to just quietly weep for ~200 pages. #JamesBaldwin #IfBealeStreetCouldTalk
Name a film where every color felt unforgettable.
In Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk, I’ll never get over how breathtaking the color yellow is in that opening sequence—warm, golden, and full of quiet power. #BarryJenkins #ifbealestreetcouldtalk #cinema
