It’s a little-known fact that even during the era when racial discrimination was still legal in the United States, there was a long-established and very snooty African-American high society. This film, about a snobbish family in the 1950s, looks at the damage done by a social system that pitches people against each other not just on the big, vague racial categories, but on incredibly precise degrees of skin tone and heritage. Pioneering black filmmaker Charles Burnett is the director, and Halle Berry has the starring role.
