    In French-ruled Algeria, Frantz Fanon was a psychiatrist and an active member of the National Liberation Front. A new movie portrays his commitment to the anti-colonial struggle.

    When in opened, it seated over a thousand people, and showed its last film in 1961. This was the Oscar-winning biopic of Frantz List Song Without End, which starred Dirk Bogarde who went to the city's Allan Glen's School in his teenage years. #glasgow #govanhill #oldcinema #artdeco #architecture

    5/9 The people who called me the N-word on my way to school – and who, more importantly, had their contorted, rageful faces captured on film abusing Ruby Bridges, the 6yo girl who desegregated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans on 14 November 1960 – are still here.

  • The Seven-Foot Slut @abigail-is-nancy.northsky.socialBluesky · May 4, 2025

    This puts me in mind of an extract from Frantz Fanon's 'Black Skin, White Masks'. When he speaks about sitting in a French movie theatre, waiting for the inevitable caricature of the Black man as interpreted by White European supremacy to appear on screen. "I wait for me..." Read the damn thread.

    Frantz is a really moving film, and I think his best. Double Lover is one of his most lurid and silly. It is great that one man made both.

    I'm officially stating that I've been wrong about Stop Making Sense since I first saw it ~30 yrs ago. Hard to imagine a better way to see a concert. The film feels so real that I kept being tempted to applaud. Props to the tireless Chris Frantz and the incredible backing singers.

    You've likely seen the 1995 docudrama(?) film by Isaac Julien with Stuart Hall: "Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask". Been some time, but I recall that the film emphasized, and dramatized, the clinical work quite a bit more than a lot of treatments of Fanon.

    The only good thing about being sick is that you can lie on the couch all day and watch movies and TV series. I just watched Frantz. A black-and-white drama set after world war I. A French soldier comes to Germany to ask the parents and the fiancee of the man he killed in the war for forgiveness. It is a wild mixture of guilt, forgiveness and love. I liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mytb1Ms7KLI #nates1984 #Frantz

    One remarkable scene from Zahzah’s film *Frantz Fanon* depicts the psyche of the torturer. The French officer who tortures in Algeria considers himself the foremost & sole victim, completely obliterating the subjects of his torture. Relevant to view it in larger context: violent oppressor-as-victim.

    What is the most painful, the war or the lies? This is pleasantly a surprise film. I would say it is this year's the Oscar winning film 'Ida'. Frankly, there's nothing to compare between two. Not just both of them are modern black and white film, but they are quite similar in the portrayal of lead female characters. Just like 'Marie's Story', it was also inspired by another Hollywood film, 'Broken Lullaby'. I haven't seen that. Even not many people have seen it. One of the less known classic…
