Medicine for Melancholy
This Is Cinema Now: 21st Century Debuts
July 19 - 31, 2019
Shot in luscious sepia tones, Barry Jenkins’s feature debut—with Wyatt Cenac and Tracey Heggins as hipsters whose one-night stand stretches into a 24-hour odyssey through the city—considers what it means to be young, black, and bohemian in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco.
Shot in luscious sepia tones, Barry Jenkins’s feature debut considers what it means to be young, black, and bohemian in a rapidly gentrifying San Francisco. Wyatt Cenac and Tracey Heggins exude chemistry as Micah and Jo, two hipsters whose one-night stand stretches into a 24-hour odyssey through the city. In between bike rides and underground dance parties, Micah grapples with his identity as a black man in an overwhelmingly white indie scene, while Jo questions her commitment to her white boyfriend. Intimate, engaging, and gorgeous to look at, Medicine for Melancholy ponders big picture questions—about race, class, housing—while never losing sight of the human story at its center.
