One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It's played in various film festivals and is well worth seeking out.
What I liked most about Strange Fruit is it has the mark of originality. It's a compelling mystery story that also dwells thoughtfully and subtly on themes of race, class and sexuality.
Rich characters (William is one of the most sensitively done portraits I've seen in any film), a tight plot, disturbing moments, unexpected humor. Above all, it leaves you with a haunting feeling you won't get over.
As I say, it's well worth seeking out.
