The Book of Clarence

A bold new take on the timeless Hollywood era Biblical epic from director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall).

Streetwise but struggling, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is trying to find a better life for himself and his family, make himself worthy to the woman he loves, and prove that he’s not a nobody. Captivated by the power and glory of the rising Messiah and his apostles, he risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life, a journey through which he finds redemption and faith, power and knowledge. The soundtrack features new music by JAY-Z, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi and the director himself.

“The Book of Clarence is aspirational, unique, moving, funny, weird, and very shaggy. But it’s better to have a picture’s cup runneth over than to present us with an empty chalice.” ~Witney Seibold, Slashfilm

“Jeymes Samuel is a master of all trades who can craft character-driven arcs with fun action-packed sequences all against a beautiful score.” ~Emma Kiely, Collider

“The results are tonally erratic, but absolutely interesting, at the very least.” ~IndieWire
