Synopsis: Ron Stallworth (Washington), a rookie African-American police officer from Colorado, infiltrates the local Ku Klux Klan with the help of a white surrogate, his Jewish colleague Flip Zimmermann (Driver).
Review: Whether the story is true or not is quite irrelevant. The story starts with a full bucket of positive and liberating crazyness and it continues. It feels like a fresh and warming wind out of a WASP supremacist environment. So good! I felt something similar on Django unchained. BlacKKKlansman is in a more modern world, the 70s.  The story is just amazingly funny by mixing people in one situation that becomes then full of tension and irony. The dialogues and the eloquence of Washington and Grace are blowing! All along it feels like it is a game, in which kids are playing policemen or kind of justicer, a Robin Hood. And this teases the child in myself.  The photography and image composition is rather classical for a Polar and well done.  The script could be adapted very well to the theatre as the dialogues can be great by becoming very theatrical.
