THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET

1984, USA

John Sayles

Set in Harlem, New York, this comedy recounts the story of an alien with the appearance of a Black human who is chased by outer-space bounty hunters. Discovering the life and habits of humans, this mute Brother from another planet tries to communicate without any language, placing himself in the situation of immigrants in the US as well as facing the social injustices of the Black community.

Ein Mann ohne Hemd und eine Frau in einem blauen Gewand sitzen dicht beieinander und schauen sich in einem intimen Moment in die Augen. Die Frau berührt sanft das Kinn des Mannes, während die beiden eine zärtliche Verbindung eingehen.
