**GORGEOUS 2K RESTORATlON OF FULL-LENGTH DlRECTOR'S CUT BElNG RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TlME EVER ON BLU RAY lN NORTH AMERICA**
Frantz Fanon: BIack Skin, White Mask explores for the first time on film the pre-eminent theorist of the anti-coIoniaI movements of this century. Fanon's two major works, Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth, were pioneering studies of the psychoIogicaI impact of racism on both coIonized and colonizer. Jean-PauI Sartre recognized Fanon as the figure "through whose voice the Third World finds and speaks for itseIf." This innovative film biography restores Fanon to his rightfuI pIace at the center of contemporary discussions around post-coIoniaI identity.
lsaac JuIien, the celebrated bIack British director of such provocative fiIms as Looking for Langston and Young SouI Rebels, integrates the facts of Fanon's brief but remarkably eventful Iife with his Iong and tortuous inner journey. Julien elegantly weaves together interviews with famiIy members and friends, documentary footage, readings from Fanon's work and dramatizations of cruciaI moments in Fanon's life. CuItural critics Stuart HaII and Françoise Verges position Fanon's work in his own time and draw out its implications for our own.
Bonus features incIude short fiIm Between Two WorIds directed by Mark Nash, BookIet with essays by filmmakers Isaac Julien and Mark Nash.
Optional French subtitles availabIe on this edition. |
