Welcome to the sideshow, a street party with car stunts that has Bay Area roots. The writer and director Joe Robert Cole captures the energy of the event in this scene from his Oakland-set drama “All Day and a Night,” streaming on Netflix.
In a tracking shot somewhat reminiscent of the opening one in ”Touch of Evil,” the movie’s lead character, Jakhor (Ashton Sanders), with his girlfriend, Shantaye (Shakira Ja’nai Paye), is led through a sideshow by his best friend, TQ (Isaiah John). But the scene focuses less on these three characters and more on the event itself, with a blend of hip-hop and tricked-out cars taking center stage.
Two cars do doughnuts in the middle of the street, and the director takes a you-are-there approach, placing the camera right next to one vehicle as it spins and kicks up dust. In his narration, Cole, who was a screenwriter on “Black Panther,” discusses using locals in the scene, how he put the camera in the middle of the action, and how some of the daredevil stunts were achieved without causing his performers any harm.
