Spike Lee has been one of America's most important and prolific filmmakers for over 30 years, but like all directors with long and diverse careers, he has experienced various levels of critical and commercial success. Prior to 2018, his last major box office success was 2006's heist thriller Inside Man, but the success of Blackkklansman was a very welcome reminder of Lee's immense gift as both a fiery social commentator and consummate cinematic craftsman.
