Still relevant, still excellent
I just saw _The Glass Shield_ for the first time since it was released theatrically. I’m very glad to say it hasn’t gone stale with time. Despite the violent overtones, the film is a subtle and compelling parable on race, power, and sex in the US. It won’t satisfy anyone with the attention span of a fruit-fly or a fetish for blood and guts, but it gets under your skin (so to speak) if you pay it the slightest bit of attention.As a side note this is one of the very few feature films chosen by the Whitney Museum of American Art for its biennial surveys of contemporary art (there was another film that year as well, _The Hours and Times_, also excellent).
