Belly
No Longer Playing
1998 96 min
Written by Anthony Bodden, Nas, and director Hype Williams, Belly is an endlessly stylish film that buckles audiences into the backseat of a ‘97 Mercedes Benz driven by hip-hop legends Nas and the late DMX, as they wind their way through a haze of religious awakenings and criminal business. With unforgettable visuals by cinematographer Malik Hassan Sayeed (Clockers, He Got Game, Beyoncé: Formation), Belly was praised upon its release for its highly stylized neo-noir look. Light on plot but heavy on beautiful, immersive strangeness, Belly is a must see on the big screen. With cameos by Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man, and actress and singer T-Boz of TLC.
