 Invisible Man

Invisible Man

Synopsis:
A blistering adaptation of Ralph Ellisons 1952 master work. Invisible Man follows an anonymous black man as he journeys from the Deep South to a basement in the borderlands of Harlem, from a betrayal at his ivy-covered Negro college to a nightmare job in a paint factory in New York City to the storys violent climax at a Harlem race riot. Ellisons hero moves through an America divided by race and class, and grapples with the paradoxes of identity that have rendered him invisible.

Notes:
This savage, hypnotic, and impassioned adaptation of Ralph Ellisons 1952 masterpiece explores bigotry and its effects on the minds of both victims and perpetrators.
