CHI-RAQ

Dir: Spike Lee / 2015 / US / 127 min / DCP

Bold, colorful, and incendiary, CHI-RAQ is Spike Lee’s return to form as an unapologetic social commentator. Set in a contemporary Chicago, the story involves a group of women fed up with the incessant killing in their town. Led by Lysistrata, a beautiful young woman with reason to protest, the ladies fashion an extremely effective revolt involving the withholding of sex to stop the violence. Stylish, sexy, and bursting with music, biting commentary, and an icy cool turn by Samuel L. Jackson, Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com calls CHI-RAQ “warm, sensual, life affirming, and so blisteringly funny that critics and political commentators are sure to blast it as distasteful.”
