The Dutchman (1964) is a psychological thriller that explores themes of systemic racism, black identity, and sexual power dynamics. It follows Clay, a polished Black businessman engaged in a tense, surreal game of "cat and mouse" with a mysterious white woman named Lula on a NYC subway, often reflecting on power, vulnerability, and entitlement.
Directed by Sage Love
Starring E.B. Smith as Clay, and Ami Trowell as Lula
