This is the first time I’ve seen Malcolm X since its original release. Constantly evolving, relentlessly compelling, this is a masterpiece of modern cinema.

Check how the physical framing of Malcolm develops as his power ebbs and flows. From chaotic to precisely controlled, it tells the story as much as the source material and script.
