It is a comedy-drama and the trailer’s funniest scene is when Washington reenacts Stallworth’s initial phone call to KKK Grand Wizard David Duke. The movie premiered at the Cannes Film Festival Monday night and received a six-minute standing ovation. Critics are calling Lee’s new film his best in a long time. The Black KkKlansman opens in theaters August 10th.Â
