Lee is recognized for his controversial and complex explorations of identity, race, class, and sex. More recently, he has broadened his subject matter with such films as Summer of Sam, Lee's perspective on how the "Son of Sam" serial murders affected residents in an Italian-American neighborhood, and 25th Hour, about a drug dealer's last day of freedom before starting his prison sentence.
The event in Strong Auditorium at 8 p.m. is cosponsored by the Outside Speakers Committee, Black Students Union, and UR Cinema Group. Tickets are available at the Common Market in Wilson Commons and also, if not sold out, at the door.
