Robert Townsend on The Five Heartbeats, The Best Man and Hollywood Shuffle

Описание: Robert Townsend is one of the great film directors of his era. I’ll never forget sitting in the theater and watching his first film Hollywood Shuffle. He also made the Five Heartbeats and directed Eddie Murphy’s legendary comedy special Raw. Townsend is a critical figure in modern Black Hollywood history. He’s hysterical, brilliant, driven and a legend. It’s an honor to talk about film with the awesome Robert Townsend.
