A blistering adaptation of Ralph Ellison's 1952 masterpiece, Invisible Man follows an anonymous black man as he journeys from the Deep South to a basement in Harlem, from a betrayal at his Negro college to a nightmare job in a paint factory to the story's violent climax at a Harlem race riot. Ellison's hero moves through an America divided by race and class, grappling with the paradoxes of identity that have rendered him invisible. This savage, hypnotic, and impassioned adaptation of Invisible Man explores bigotry and its effects on the minds of both victims and perpetrators.
