'American Fiction': neither rap nor crack, the black comedy that mocks white condescension. Thelonious Monk Ellison, played by a brilliant Jeffrey Wright, is a black professor and writer.

Ellison decides to write a novel that is a mockery of the commonplaces about his own: crack, rap, crime, slang... The surprise comes when this string of clichés seduces white critics and editors. Although it is a rather flat film visually, American Fiction is sustained thanks to its scathing script and a good cast, with Wright at the helm.
