Lenny Kravitz’s upcoming film debut, Barbecues and Bar Mitzvahs is a semi-autobiographical tale of a half Jewish/half black musician’s loves and woes. We’re thinking Purple Rain minus Appolonia’s cleavage, right? Monsieur Kravitz, however, identifies less with Prince than another short, neurotic icon: Woody Allen “It’s about someone in my particular position growing up between two cultures. It’s like ‘Annie Hall’ or ‘Manhattan,’ says Kravitz.
Wow, we’re looking forward to watching Lenny Kravitz bungling a cocaine party and nervously pushing up his glasses around pretty women. Maybe that’s not what he meant, but it takes a lot of gas to compare oneself to Woody Allen before the first movie even comes out.
