United States | 2020 | Ephraim Asili
An African-American man who inherits his grandmother’s West Philadelphia house (and her culturally rich book and record collection) decides to turn it into a socialist collective for Black artists and activists. Shot in the bold primary colors of Godard’s La Chinoise, this scintillating new comedy honors generations of pioneering Black writers, musicians and radicals (including Philly’s 1980s liberation group MOVE) while also showing that forging political consensus ain’t easy. “A joyous celebration of Blackness. The Inheritance is alive, drunk off the colors and textures of West Philadelphia.” –IndieWire. “One of the best movies of the year.” –Sight & Sound. Cleveland premiere. 100 min.
