Jungle Fever
It is the story of two people who entered into a strong love relationship despite the difference between them. That romance began between the black architect Flipper Purify and his white office girl Angie Touche. This relationship began despite the difference and contrast between them in a story showing the mercy of love, which illustrates the problem of races and its effects on society as a whole within the same society.

Jungle Fever is so many graceful things, so many angry things, so many truly moving things that its occasional faults are the faults of excess passion, not failure of imagination.

Lee's direction is wonderfully fluid and, as in most of his movies, he is superbly served by the striking cinematography of Ernest Dickerson and strong lead performances. However, there is a glibness to his script.

You'll remember Sciorra and Snipes but wish you had learned more about them -- and the society that complicates their lives so cruelly.

The ingrained self-hatred of its characters reflect outward toward those who remind them of themselves.

Jungle Fever is confidently acted, brilliantly written and thoroughly provocative. Lee has succeeded again.

It certainly is something to see.

In that sense, Lee is a victim of his own high standard.

However diffuse the movie's agenda, it is never less than thoroughly involving.

Isn't it refreshing to talk about a thoughtful movie in a summer full of fluff?

Jungle Fever may be a failure, but it is the kind of failure that engenders hope: It finds Lee refining the skills he already possesses and striking out in encouraging new directions.

It's all too much for Lee to handle. Jungle Fever is overlong, yet he hasn't found the screen time to give each of these people his or her reasons, and even the Snipes and Sciorra characters slip away from him.

Strong and powerful, Jungle Fever dares us to be disinterested, dares us to turn away.
