If Beale Street Could Talk
For our first edition of 2019 we dive into Barry Jenkins’ extraordinary adaptation of James Baldwin.
When you read James Baldwin’s 1974 novel, ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’, primal images leap from the page. This Harlem-set tale offers a bristling snapshot of youthful romance dashed against the rocks of a legal framework weighed in favour of affluent white folk. Fonny and Tish are madly in love, but he has been arrested on a bum rap and is fighting for a future which, he discovers, will include a baby.
Barry Jenkins approaches the work of his literary hero with a delicate yet decisive touch, producing an unspeakably moving (and stealthily political) love story in which tragedy and triumph jostle for supremacy. In this issue, we spoke to Jenkins about the mammoth task of transposing Baldwin’s prose to the big screen.
