A very long SIFF interview with Barry Jenkins

And this quote, from The Stranger, displays a not too bad of a way to have your film received by others (note: humor - understatement):

"Medicine for Melancholy is a masterpiece. It is the most important film by a black American director since Charles Burnett's To Sleep With Anger, black American cinema's highest achievement.-- Charles Mudede, The Stranger"

Read the interview with Melancholy's director Barry Jenkins at SIFF blog.

Thanks One Way blog for the link.
