  • Crooklyn is a 1994 American semi-autobiographical film produced and directed by Spike Lee and co-written with his sister Joie and brother Cinqué. Occurring in the Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, during the summer of 1973, the film primarily focuses on a young girl named Troy Carmichael (played by Zelda Harris), and her family. Throughout the film, Troy learns life lessons through her rowdy brothers Clinton, Wendell, Nate, and Joseph; her loving but strict mother Carolyn (Alfre Woodard), and her naive, struggling father Woody (Delroy Lindo). A distinctive characteristic of Crooklyn is its soundtrack, composed completely of music from the 1960s and 70s, except the hit single "Crooklyn" by the Crooklyn Dodgers, a rap crew composed of Buckshot, Masta Ace, and Special Ed. A two-volume release of the soundtrack became available on CD along with the release of the film. Similarly to his past films such as School Daze, Do the Right Thing, and She's Gotta Have It, Spike Lee appears in Crooklyn, playing a young glue huffer named Snuffy, who likes to bully the local children. Crooklyn is the second of only two films directed by Spike Lee to earn a PG-13 rating in the US, along with Malcolm X. New Yorkers selected the film for simultaneous screenings across New York City as part of the 2017 One Film, One New York contest. (en)
  • Crooklyn es una película semi-autobiográfica coescrita y dirigida por Spike Lee. El filme se sitúa en Brooklyn, Nueva York, en el barrio de Bedford-Stuyvesant durante el verano de 1970.​ Se halla enfocada principalmente en una niña joven, Troy (interpretada por Zelda Harris), y su familia. A lo largo del filme, Troy aprende lecciones de vida, viviendo en medio de sus cuatro ruidosos hermanos, su amorosa pero estricta madre (Alfre Woodard), y su ingenuo padre (Delroy Lindo). Una notoria característica de Crooklyn es su banda sonora, compuesta completamente de música de la década de 1970, con excepción del sencillo Crooklyn de los Crooklyn Dodgers, un grupo de rap integrado por Buckshot, Masta Ace y Special Ed. En conjunto con el estreno de la película, también se realizó el lanzamiento de la banda sonora en CD en dos volúmenes. Como ya sucedió en School Daze, Do the Right Thing y She's Gotta Have It, Spike Lee aparece en Crooklyn. Él interpreta a un joven drogadicto llamado Snuffy, a quien le gusta acosar a los niños de la zona. Crooklyn es uno de los dos filmes dirigidos por Spike Lee que haya adquirido una calificación PG-13 en los Estados Unidos, el otro siendo la película de 1992 Malcolm X. (es)

  • Crooklyn è un film del 1994, diretto da Spike Lee, scritto con la sorella Joie e con il fratello Cinqué. È il film più autobiografico di Spike Lee, basato su alcune esperienze della sua infanzia. In origine il film doveva essere il pilot di una serie televisiva per bambini, che venne rifiutata dalla produzione perché non conteneva nessun riferimento all'hip hop. Il titolo, Crooklyn, è un gioco di parole tra Brooklyn e crook (ladro, imbroglione, truffatore). (it)
