One such film that perhaps won’t be bandied around, however, is Bodied, a battle rap film produced by Eminem which isn’t to say it isn’t one of the best films to come out of the festival.
We see the film through the eyes of Adam, a young white male with an unexpected talent for battle rap.
There really is no other film quite like Bodied – and it certainly seems to be whipping up a frenzy among distributors desperate to acquire the film.
The idea behind the film, which is similar in nature to the rapper’s very own 8 Mile, is to use battle rap as a tool for addressing the increasingly fraught tensions related to race in America.
