Lee makes an interesting and subtle case that they are driven to one another out of frustration with social obstacles as well as pure attraction--but is that enough for love to survive? John Turturro is featured in... a subplot as an Italian American who grows attracted to a black woman and takes heat from his numbskull buddies. [show more]
