Description

We end Noiruary with an adaptation of a Chester Himes novel that puts a decidedly absurdist spin on the hard-boiled noir genre in the Bill Duke directed A Rage in Harlem. Starring Forest Whittaker and Gregory Hines, the film follows the two estranged brothers as they attempt to get one the woman of his dreams and the other a chest full of gold. The film meshes comedy with a heavy dash of bloodshed in a film that is as good as any Himes' adaptation gets. DC Titan's Richard Hatem, The Projection Booth's Mike White, and Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher join Chris to talk about the performances, the comedy, and the strange tone.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast. The music is Forever Sunset's Santa Monica Dreaming. You can also subscribe to the Kulturecast on iTunes here.
