background
She's Gotta Have It is considered the first film in New Black Cinema and a milestone in American auteur and independent film. The New York Times counted the film alongside Jim Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise among the most important independent films of the 1980s. The film was shot in just 12 days. The film also presented a different, better view of Brooklyn : a neighborhood that is cosmopolitan and where African Americans have prospered. According to the New York Times, the film had a very positive impact on Brooklyn , which became the focus of artists. In 2014, Lee said he regretted filming the rape scene. This was stupid and immature. The rape was portrayed in the film too harmlessly and he did not pay enough attention to the importance of the crime. In 2010 the film was digitally revised and released in high definition.
