Donald Glover's "Atlanta" was so revolutionary. I never thought the modern African American experience could be expressed so - hilariously weirdly.

As Donald Glover said, he wanted to show "Atlanta" as if it were directed by David Lynch or the Coen Brothers. And it worked.

I've been a big fan of eccentric cinema directors, for a long time: Michel Gondry, Wes Anderson, Spike Jonez, Todd Solondz as well as Lynch and the Coens.

That's why I'm more than delighted to see that that specific absurdist point of view, from African American writers and directors is becoming more popular:

Sorry to Bother You, 2018

American Fiction, 2023

The Book of Clarence, 2023

They Cloned Tyrone, 2023

Bad Hair, 2020

Day Shift, 2022

Project Power, 2020

The Blackening, 2022

Any others I'm missing ?
