Film Comment Talk: Boots Riley
Update: Listen to the full talk below on The Film Comment Podcast.
Boots Riley and special guest Questlove in conversation, moderated by Farihah Zaman. Free and open to the public!
Extraordinary times demand extraordinary stories, and with Sorry to Bother You, director Boots Riley delivers a funny, scathing, weird, and audacious satire. Rising star Lakeith Stanfield plays a telemarketer at a company with a brave new world in mind for the country, in Riley’s sharp and smart X Ray of our moment. For our next Film Comment Talk, Riley joins special guest Questlove to talk about the story’s brilliant workplace nightmare and dead-on commentary about culture, capital, and race in America. Happy 200th anniversary, Marx!
