The Black Panther and Fruitvale Station director has made a project that’s simultaneously audacious and personal, the kind of big-swing original story that cinephiles are always clamoring for around the edges of the endless franchise movies, reboots, prequels, sequels, and spinoffs that dominate American studio output.
