Peter Farrelly

In 1962, Tony “Tony Lip” Vallelonga, a tough bouncer, is looking for work when his nightclub is closed for renovations. The most promising offer turns out to be the driver for the African-American classical pianist Don Shirley for a concert tour into the Deep South states. Based on the true-life story, ‘Green Book’ is a surprise effort by Writer-Director Peter Farrelly, who is known for madcap comedies delivers a more sensitive and slower-paced film than his usual fare and delivers a road-film that explores friendship and racism in a thoughtful way. I liked it a lot.
