This month’s Last Friday Film is Rebecca Hall’s enigmatic Passing, a cinematic imagining of Nella Larsen’s beloved 1929 novel. In an announcement of its initial release, the film was described as the below: 

Two African American women who can “pass” as white choose to live on opposite sides of the color line in 1929 New York in an exploration of racial and gender identity, performance, obsession and repression.
