If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) - ’The Children of Our Age’ scene

Just minutes into the film, a montage reminds the audience that this is not some simple story of two lovers and one’s misfortune, but a harsh reflection of society at large. The music remains beautiful, but the tone shifts. Starring KiKi Layne, Stephan James, Diego Luna, Dave Franco, Pedro Pascal and Regina King (in an Oscar-winning role). Screenplay and direction by Barry Jenkins, based on the novel by James Baldwin. Original score by Nicholas Britell.
