A poet and a photographer take a chance on romance but find their ambitions and baggage could keep them from taking their relationship further. Roger Ebert’s review: ” ‘Love Jones’ is a love story set in the world of Chicago’s middle-class black artists and professionals–which is to say, it shows a world more unfamiliar to moviegoers than the far side of the moon. It is also frankly romantic and erotic and smart.” The soundtrack to the film Love Jones is arguably one of the best soundtracks of the 1990s. It’s a rare example of a flawless soundtrack album and ranks as one of the best R&B albums of the 1990s, period.
