Product Description
This critically acclaimed film from Spike Lee explores the provocative consequences of interracial relationships. Black architect Flipper Purify (Wesley Snipes) begins an affair with his working-class Italian secretary (Annabella Sciorra), which causes them to be scrutinized by their friends, cast out from their families and shunned by their neighbors in this moving view of inner-city life. Featuring an original soundtrack by Stevie Wonder, Jungle Fever stars a talented cast including Spike Lee, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Samuel L. Jackson, Lonette McKee, John Turturro and two-time Academy Award® winner Anthony Quinn.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2022One of the most important Spike Lee joints, right along with "Malcolm X"; this was a film ahead of its time, even though its a modern remake of "Othello"; besides the drama between Blacks (Moors) & Italians (Romans), as well as the Crack Epidemic of the late 80s/early 90s, you'll see great acting from Samuel L. Jackson & a young Halle Berry; Wesley Snipes' character had a ridiculously STUPID & unrealistic name (Flipper Purify), & WAY TOO MUCH Stevie Wonder music, despite his talent. The subject matter was panifully honest, necessary & hard-hitting; even more so, the prophetic "N.A.S." (ni66az aint s***) narrative, demonstrated by the Black Women in the film, that has become the fuel for the Black Community's current gender war, Black Manosphere, Black Misandry & "Divestment" movement. The one thing that's true, in this film : DANGER - NOTHING makes a Black Woman more FURIOUS, than seeing a Black Man, dating or married to a White Woman ! Even in 2022, Interracial Dating, though more popular today, is STILL controversial. This movie diesnt romanticize Interracial Romance, AT ALL; It deals with the FALLOUT & consequences of it, from the standpoint of the juice, not being worth the squeeze.
NOTE: "Jungle Fever" as a term, originally referrer to Malaria.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2006What a great movie. It's very sad to watch in some respects. The colour of someones skin should not create the problems that occured in this film. It shouldn't matter if you are black or white and fall in love with your 'opposite'. It should come down to the kind of person you are. This is an honest look at the way people can react to interracial relationships which I hope has changed over the years since this was made. Wesley Snipes does an excellent job here (he's so hot - and I'm white but yet I LOVE him) and Spike Lee does another excellent job at direction. Samuel L Jackson and Ossie Davis are great and one of my all time favourite female movie stars Annabella Sciora is tremendous as the mistress of Wesley. She's Italian and has her own problems with her family understanding her.
Overall, this is an exceptional film (with a younger Halle Berry) that also has a great soundtrack. Lots of music by Stevie Wonder, and great acting by all. You have to see this for yourself - you'll love it.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2023I've been looking for this movie on DVD for years, still have the VHS tape but never got around to digitizing it.
Saw it for a decent price and copped.
Nothing is perfect and while there are flaws, so what.
I'm satisfied.
More than worth it, imho.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2011There is alot going on in this movie. Cheating, interracial dating, racial predjudices between white and black, between black and black and for a cherry on top they also throw in the crack epidemic. Which I have to say that Samuel L. Jackson plays a crack head incredibly well. And I have to also give it to Halle Berry for not always having to play the "glamor girl" because she got down and dirty in this one and played his crack head girl friend. There is definately some good acting in here, also done by Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis. Overall I think it is a good movie but what I just absoloutely hate about this movie is the scene where there are a group of black women in a room complaining about how all of the white women want to steal their men and how only light skin black women can get dates. I'm sure that you can take the scene as "well they were just angry and venting and that was just their opinion", but the way it was done, in this "forum" type setting gave it the appearance of more than just an "opinion" and made it seem like it was a factual message that the movie was trying to give out. A message that I think is absolutely false. Of course there are white women that like black men and there are some black men that will only choose a light black over a darker one(I know it sounds silly to even say it, but thats a whole other story LOL), but to send the message that all white women want black men and that dark black women can't get dates is just false and misleading. The scene would had been more effective if maybe some other black women could had been sitting there and gave some other points of view, but again, that probably wasn't the movie's aim to show all sides. Other than that the movie is funny and serious at the same time and at times a little weird, but it is a weirdness that you can deal with. Atleast I can. Except for the one scene that I mentioned, I think this is a good movie.

Not my favorite movie, but I bought it because I get a kick out of Sam Jackson as Gator. Happy with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filmone dello zio Spike, audio e sottotitoli in italiano anche nell'edizione francese
Degno sequel tematico del già grandioso (e più controverso) "Fa la Cosa GIusta", dove il grande Lee passa dal macrocosmo del ghetto e i vari odi tra etnie al pregiudizio e discriminazione etnico-razziale all'interno di un contesto famigliare, rivisitando in chiave più politica "Indovina Chi Viene a Cena?", togliendo l'atmosfera da commedia e rendendolo più cupo e drammatico.
Piccola ma importantissima segnalazione sul dvd: essendo fuori catalogo da tempo (e venduto a prezzi assassini da privati), documentandomi un po' sul web, ho scoperto che l'edizione francese del film ha pure audio e sottotitoli in italiano, quindi straconsiglio di acquistare questa versione, tra l'altro in qualità più che valida.

5.0 out of 5 stars “You’re just jealous because she talks to me!” [Pauly]
In this 1991 social drama, Flipper Purify (Wesley Snipes), is a successful afro-american architect and is angered when he discovers his new temporary secretary is an Italian-American white woman, Angie Tucci (Annabella Sciorra). Despite the inauspicious start, they soon find common ground and have an affair. But what happens when the news gets out?
The film illustrates quite easily how a secret can soon spiral out of control and although being ’another’ inter –racial love story, this shows how it affects many people from many differing angles, from the family, in the workplace, in restaurants, public places, but most tellingly of all, within friendship circles. It’s not just about black/white or any colour combination, but explores many social stereotypes such as ethnic communities, cultural expectations, drug abuse, religion and even post code snobbery as he’s from Harlem and she’s from Bensonhurst .
The single disc opens to a language selection screen offering 7 [mainly Scandinavian ] languages. Main menu offers play, scenes, bonus [featurette and 3 trailers], audio [English/German] and subtitles [as for language screen]. The music is mainly Stevie Wonder but all the music fits well with the story, including Frank Sinatra.
With nudity, sex and swearing from the start this is an 18 rating even before the adult themes kick in. The main issue with this film is that it’s now politically outdated, not in it’s social message, but in it’s language, a prime example is the conversation that kicks off their initial friendship, now they would both be hauled in by Human Resources and be sent on an ‘Orientation’ or ‘Racial Awareness’ course or something similar, if not fired. Much of the everyday dialogue is similar and it’s difficult to imagine this being made now. Yet this remains a worthwhile ***** watch although the message does tend to drone on in a very pessimistic way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Halle berry deserves her trophy for Jungle fever
Schönes filmchen , die die Probleme der Hautfarbe demonstriert bis ins abscheuliche. Dann natürlich noch Halle Berry biss zum Anschlag voll auf koks , dass es verwunderlich ist das sie nur einen kleinen part im film bekommen hat. Bild der DVD aus England ist nicht schlecht und der englische sound geht so , denn er wird nicht wirklich gefordert. Alles im ganzen einer von Spike Lees besten filmen meiner meinung nach, da es im auge jeden betrachters liegt kann es schonmal zu komplikationen kommen.
