Two years after his groundbreaking Best Picture winner, MOONLIGHT, Barry Jenkins returns with a challenging adaptation of James Baldwin's 1974 book, IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK. Set in 1970s Harlem, the story follows Tish (Kiki Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James), two young lovers who see their future together torn apart when he is falsely accused of rape. Jenkins and Layne joined me to talk about the making of IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK, the challenge in adapting Baldwin's poetic words into images for the big screen, and more.
