Dave Chappelle's Block Party
2006, 103 minutes, Rated M
Comedy superstar Dave Chappelle presents a Brooklyn neighbourhood with its very own once-in-a-lifetime street party. This unprecedented combination of comedy and music sees Dave Chappelle perform all-new material, joined by a stellar roster of artists including Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Dead Prez, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, the Roots, Cody ChesnuTT, Big Daddy Kane, and - reunited for their first performance in over seven years - the Fugees.
In the small Ohio town he calls home, Dave hands out golden tickets Willy-Wonka-style to invite several dozen citizens to join his party, providing transportation and lodging for their first-time-ever visit to Brooklyn. As a diverse crowd comes together, Chappelle's freestyle wit guides them (and us) through a day-long life-affirming celebration of music and comedy, history and comunity.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michel Gondry and his Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind cinematographer capture all of the exclusive performances and crowd excitement on an unforgettable Saturday, as well as private rehearsals, behind-the-scenes antics and footage of Dave Chappelle in his home town. Dave Chapelle's Block Party is your personal ticket into the music and comedy event of the year.
