Description

We are back with another edition of Re:VIEWS, where we rewatch and break down some classic Chicago films. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we are enjoying the 1997 romantic comedy “Love Jones” starring Larenz Tate and Nia Long. Between the poetic plot, amazing soundtrack, and cast’s impeccable on-screen chemistry, it is without a doubt one of Chicago’s smoothest romance movies. Host Jacoby Cochran, producer Simone Alicea, and teacher and “Love Jones” expert Zephanie Battle talk about some their favorite scenes and argue why the film is so much more than a “Black Classic,” but a Classic, period!
