The Caveman's Valentine

In episode 2 of Changing Reels, Andrew Hathaway and I take a look at Kasi Lemmons’ thriller The Caveman’s Valentine. The film stars Samuel L. Jackson as Romulus, a schizophrenic homeless man living in a cave in a New York City park. When a frozen body appears outside his cave, Romulus turns amateur detective in hopes of tracking down the killer. The episode also finds us discussing our short film picks of the week: Ryan Coogler’s Locks and Sara Kenney’s Angels and Ghosts.

  1. I’ve seen that film. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. It’s a weird film but certainly has its moments though it is also quite flawed.
