ELVIS MITCHELL: I Think I Love My Wife is very political. It’s a movie about the black middle class.

CHRIS ROCK: There’s an isolation that the black middle class goes through. I remember watching Lost in Translation and going, “That’s how I feel in America.” Nothing captures the black experience more than Lost in Translation. It’s one of the blackest movies I’ve ever seen, flat out.
