Book description
"Spike Lee is one of the great movie stylists of his time-or any time. Not only do his movies have an inimitable look, but Lee has a natural sense for fashion, never mind true skill as commercial ad man. This book does justice to Lee's inimitable visual style. It's a beaut." -Esquire"SPIKE is a hefty, glossy compendium of the still-unfolding career of one of cinema's most clarion voices. It's also an intimate story of family, with siblings on both sides of the camera: Spike as seen through his brother's lens." -Associated Press"Technically, SPIKE is a film-by-film study of the director's career. But it's hardly stuffy. It's a visual joy with choice comments from the man himself."-The New York Times"This should absolutely make the case for why he is one of the most important American filmmakers of this or any age."-David Lee"For the first time, Spike Lee's film career is captured in a retrospective coffee table book"-New York Daily News"Spike Lee's first career-spanning book is a visual celebration of his life and career to date."-Fast Company"He's a voice of reason, an advocate, a pioneer, and above all, a storyteller, whether with his motion pictures, commercials, music videos, or his book, SPIKE. Spike Lee has always used his artistry to paint these beautiful pictures of people of color at a time when there were not a lot showcasing the Black experience in America."-V Magazine"This gorgeous coffee-table book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the prolific director's most iconic work."-Entertainment Weekly"SPIKE is a big, bold powerhouse."-The Film Stage"SPIKE features film stills, never-before-seen photographs, and Lee's own commentary on all of the director's movies, from his 1986 debut She's Gotta Have It to 2020's Da 5 Bloods."-Rolling Stone jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
