classic in Black culture and served as “romance goals” for so many couples after its release in 1997.Written and directed by Theodore Witcher, Love Joneswas set in the beautiful city of Chicago and followed the passionate – but at times tumultuous – relationship between the poetic Darius Lovehall and Nina Mosley, a talented photographer.
The film would follow Darius and Nina as they fall in love and grow within themselves individually as well as together. What made this story special is that it showed how difficult having perseverance can be, along with the real power of Black love.Love Jones also gave us the poem, “Brother to the Night (A Blues for Nina),” where Darius professed his infatuation with Nina upon their very first meeting saying the classic closer: “Who am I?
Well, they call me brother to the night, and right now I am the blues in your left thigh; trying to be in the funk in your right.”Starring Larenz Tate as Darius and Nia Long as Nina, the film had an amazing cast including Isaiah Washington, Bill Bellamy, Khalil Kain, Lisa Nicole Carson, and Leonard Roberts.
