The “BlacKkKlansman” director had a solid outing with the aforementioned movie last year, which was deemed a comeback of sorts after a rough 10-year stretch of films that included “Miracle at St. Anna,” “Red Hook Summer,” “Oldboy,” “Da Sweet Blood of Jesus” and, to a lesser extent, “Chiraq.” Those were the five worst Lee movies of his career (as far as I’m concerned). And this is coming from an unadorned fan of his. Lee could practically do nothing wrong in my books between his 1986 debut “She’s Gotta Have It” all the way to 2006’s heist flick, “Inside Man” (let’s pretend 2004’s misbegotten “She Hate Me” doesn’t exist). The Lee filmography speaks for itself, really: “Do the Right Thing,” “Jungle Fever,” “Malcolm X,” “The 25th Hour,” “Summer of Sam,” and his most vastly underrated movie, which, quite curiously, is the most pertinently relevant film for 2019, “Bamboozled.” With all that being said I am being told that the Oscar-nominated director’s next movie, the Netflix-produced “Da 5 Bloods,” was test-screened on November 25th in Brooklyn. An East Coast critic went to it and was absolutely floored by it. He sent me this short review: Does this mean we can potentially expect “Da 5 Bloods” to world premiere at Sundance this coming January? I contacted my source at Netflix and they were really holding out hope for a Cannes premiere but said Sundance is “not out of the question” right now. When asked about a festival premiere, the East Coast critic had this to say: This would, at first, seem like an odd statement from Netflix, given that Cannes has banned their movies these last two years, but maybe an agreement/deal is trying to be negotiated, who knows. Sundance is supposed to announce its lineup, according to same source, tomorrow. “Da 5 Bloods” circles around a group of Vietnam veterans who return to southeast Asia to find who they were before the war. Chadwick Boseman leads the starry cast which also includes Delroy Lindo and Jean Reno. Contribute Hire me
