Storia
Queen and Slim begins with Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) going on their first date. During a routine traffic stop for a minor violation, tensions rise between them and a racist police officer. In self-defense, Slim shoots the officer and they are forced to flee the scene. A viral video of the incident labels them cop killers, leading to a nation-wide manhunt. On the run, Queen and Slim navigate their new lives as outlaws while grappling with their actions.
Riassunto
Queen and Slim is a 2019 drama directed by Melina Matsoukas, exploring themes of racial profiling, police brutality, and societal labels. The film follows Queen and Slim, two strangers on a first date who are thrust into a world of crime and fear after an encounter with law enforcement goes awry. As they evade capture while becoming unintentional symbols of rebellion, the film offers a critical look at the criminal justice system's treatment of people of color.
