The Last Black Man in San Francisco is seriously one of the most gorgeous films I have ever seen. The house Jimmie and Monty are so intent on is gorgeous, with scenes often bathed in natural light. One of the best scenes is when Jimmie and Monty finally get inside the house.
The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Just watched this movie last night and I am still completely blown away.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Recommendation. Okay so I just watch this amazing movie last night. It’s a love story between a man & a house. Also it’s an ode to male friendship. The cinematography is just beautiful! San Francisco is very captured in this film. The highs & lows of how people people live there.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a beautiful movie that seems to be overlooked I watched this film last night after seeing the trailer. The aesthetic of the film is a love letter to Wes Anderson films.
As a former San Franciscan who got prices out, I think this movie was packed with all kinds of nuances, hidden nods and experiences that speak to living in the city that may not translate well to others. It is a complete local’s love letter to SF.
