Spike Lee’s magnificent biopic of the eponymous activist and orator – embodied by Denzel Washington in an astonishing, Academy Award-nominated performance – combines a vast sweep reminiscent of the great cinematic epics with a propulsive stylistic verve characteristic of Lee at his freewheeling best. Exhilarating, absorbing and deeply moving, Malcolm X is an unforgettable monument to its subject.
New 35mm print made with funding from the National Lottery and the additional support of donors to our Keep Film on Film campaign. With thanks to Warner Bros. and YCM Laboratories.
