Uncompromising, street-level study of 1960s Harlem.
Adapted from Warren Miller’s novel, and revered for its authenticity, Clarke’s brilliantly stark look at early 60s ghetto life is exceptional. Shot on location in the streets of Harlem, The Cool World follows Duke, a teenager with aspirations of owning a gun and proving himself. Cinematically, Clarke skilfully channels the raw power of the bleak truth -and produces a bombshell. The jazz element is crucial, with a tremendous soundtrack and a fleeting appearance by the legendary Dizzy Gillespie.
