About this listen
But first, we need to talk about something: watching the Iran war unfold from inside the United States feels surreal. We're living through what might be the moral collapse of American foreign policy in real time, and the cognitive dissonance is overwhelming. How do you review films about justice and survival when your country is manufacturing catastrophe overseas?
🎬 DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS (1995)
Director: Carl Franklin
Starring: Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, Jennifer Beals, Tom Sizemore
Genre: Neo-noir, Crime Thriller
Setting: 1948 Los Angeles (post-WWII Black LA)
Based on Walter Mosley's novel, this is one of the most overlooked films in Denzel's career—a meditation on Black survival, American racism, and the violence lurking beneath respectability politics.
