Jimmie and his best friend Mont try to reclaim the house built by Jimmie’s grandfather in San Francisco, launching them on a poignant odyssey that connects them to their past, even as it tests their friendship and sense of belonging in the place they call home. “The Last Black Man in San Francisco belongs to a lineage of whimsical, rabble-rousing, class-conscious independent cinema. There are strains of 2018’s Sorry to Bother You, with its air of revolt; 2012’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, with its affection for an outsider, artistic community; and, above all, the direct-address, socially conscious filmmaking of Spike Lee.  The movie creates a different sort of fractured, fairy-tale world, one that sits somewhere between the place we want to live, the place only some of us are allowed to live in, and the place where we all belong.” Josh LarsenTrailer: https://youtu.be/C0FnJDhY9-0?si=m1uFXfFFD6l_7J24
