Harlem Action – Eine schwarze Komödie

A Rage in Harlem is a 1991 American crime film directed by Bill Duke and loosely based on Chester Himes' novel A Rage in Harlem. The film stars Forest Whitaker, Danny Glover, Badja Djola, Robin Givens and Gregory Hines. Producer Stephen Woolley intended it to be a comedy film,[3] and several reviewers have described it as such,[4][5][6] but this categorization has been disputed by director Bill Duke.[3]

The film premiered in competition at the 44th Cannes Film Festival[7] in its Grand Palais, receiving a "five-minute standing ovation."[8] It was also shown at the 2nd Stockholm International Film Festival.[9]
