In light of The Criterion Collection adding John Singleton’s Hood Trilogy to its catalogue, The Culture Crypt magazine presents an exclusive screening of the trilogy’s romance-swept second instalment, Poetic Justice. Starring musicians Tupac Shakur and Janet Jackson at the height of their commercial ascent, the 1993 film follows a coming-of-age tale centred on young adults in their 20s grappling with grief, friendship, toxic relationships and love—all while navigating the challenges of everyday life.
To commemorate the legacy of Poetic Justice, The Culture Crypt team will host a brief introduction highlighting the film’s lasting impact as a Black romantic blockbuster and its broader influence on African American cinema and hip-hop culture.
