Colson Whitehead’in Pulitzer ödüllü romanından uyarlanan bu yakıcı drama, yönetmen RaMell Ross’un ilk kurmaca filmi. Radikal bir görsel dile sahip Nickel Boys, Jim Crow döneminde Florida’daki bir ıslahevinin korkunçluğunu çarpıcı bir empati ve derinlikle aktarıyor.

While working as a teacher and basketball coach in Alabama, RaMell Ross filmed the local community over the course of five years. A profound humanism lies at the heart of this impressionistic, politically evocative work—a welcome portrait of the Black American South, nominated for the Oscars®.

Soothing sounds of radio crackle and gurgling cauldrons mix with Deep South patter in this richly textured, relaxed documentary from Nickel Boys director RaMell Ross. Capturing hard-to-see things like tacit knowledge and muscle memory, Easter Snap savors slow, skilled work in the age of automation.
