Similar To Imperium

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2018)

I was living in Louisiana when David Duke ran for office and got elected to the state's House of Representatives. I'm kind of ashamed to have known people who openly supported and voted for him, despite his background and history.
BlacKkKlansman has a lot in common with Imperium, which is also based on real-life events about an FBI agent who infiltrates a white supremacist organization. Even though Spike Lee has been a filmmaker for decades, BlacKkKlansman is not as polished as Imperium from a directorial and narrative standpoint, but Topher Grace's performance as David Duke is spot on, and both films excellently capture the ignorance and irrational fear of these racists.
BlacKkKlansman has gotten high marks, but it's not good as Imperium.
