Der Tele-Stammtisch - Der Film- und SerienpodcastDie Farbe Lila | Hier werden Träume und Songs geschmettert - Review KritikDie Farbe Lila | Hier werden Träume und Songs geschmettert
Alice Walkers Roman "Die Farbe Lila" wurde bereits 1985 von Steven Spielberg verfilmt, wobei Whoopi Goldberg die Hauptrolle übernahm. Obwohl das Drama damals beeindruckende elf Oscar-Nominierungen erhielt, ging er bei den Academy Awards leer aus. Das Remake, das am 8. Februar in die Kinos kommt, wurde im Vorfeld ebenfalls als möglicher Oscar-Kandidat gehandelt. Dennoch wurde es von der Jury größtenteils ignoriert, lediglich eine Nominierung für die Nebendarstellerin Danielle Brooks (bekannt aus der DC-Serie "Peacemaker") wurde vergeben.
Es aber sei betont, dass ein herausragender Film keine...

Visions of VisionariesREWIND | BLITZ THE AMBASSADORSamuel Bazawule turned Blitz the Ambassador after he touched down on American shores after 18 years in Ghana.
