The Last Black Man in San Francisco

It's a bittersweet, devastating love letter to architecture and a particular experience of a city that's changing too fast for the people who have lived there for a long time. Jimmie — who shares a name with the actor who plays him — returns daily to a house that he believes his family used to own. Despite it being long since sold off to (white) gentrifiers, he returns constantly to fix it up with the help of his friend. It's a movie that's less about the plot itself and more about the emotional experience, as we watch Jimmie's emotional connection to a constantly changing city.
