"Incisive literary satire takes no prisoners"- The Guardian ★ ★ ★ ★
OSCAR NOMINEE 2024 for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, Best Original Score
American Fiction is the stunning new satire, nominated for two Golden Globes, starring Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown. Hailing from the mind of Writer/Director Cord Jefferson.
Monk is a novelist, frustrated with how the establishment profits from “Black” entertainment based on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk writes his own outlandish “Black” book under a pen name, propelling him into the hypocrisy and madness he claims to disdain.
Tony and Emmy Award-winner Jeffrey Wright leads the cast of this wickedly bold and smart comedy about the commodification of marginalised voices with his portrayal of Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, a respected author and professor of English literature at a predominately white institution, who experiences professional and personal events that force him to reexamine the terms of his integrity, ideals, and artistic existence.
A fearless, funny, and provocative tale, that shines a thoughtful and thought-provoking light on the concept and construct of race, identity, and family that aims to unify.
