Film Description
Isaac Julien's Looking for Langston is a fantasy meditation on the issues of race, sexuality and art shared by Langston Hughes and his contemporaries during the Harlem Renaissance, and explores their evolution in the late 1980s when the film was made. In the film, Julien draws on film noir, the nudes and fashion shots of photographer George Platt Lynes, and James Van Der Zee's funeral photographs and portraits of Harlem residents during the 30's and 40's.
