- Manuscripts Don’t Burn
Spike Lee reaches back to the 70s heyday of blaxploitation for his latest project, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, a remake of Bill Gunn’s low-budget cult item Ganja & Hess. Also in this week’s issue, I recommend Manuscripts Don’t Burn, an uncompromising drama about government censorship, repression, and murder from Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof (Iron Island).
