It’s safe to say that the majority of present-day moviegoers steer clear of stage-to-screen adaptations. There are films in this subgenre that would be considered classics, like Elia Kazan’s “A Streetcar Named Desire” and Milos Forman’s “Amadeus” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but there is something about the intimacy of watching the film version of a work originally performed as a stage play that turns many audiences off. This past month, though, I watched two films that stuck with me for weeks: George C. Wolfe’s “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and Regina King’s “One Night in Miami.” These two stories focus on different eras of Black history in America one set in 1927, the other in 1964 and their associated philosophies. Both of these adaptations are masterfully crafted, with excellent directing and performances that will speak to people in ways that other stage-to-screen adaptations in the past have been unable to achieve.
