Film Review: Three Revolutionary Films by Ousmane Sembène

In a Western film market saturated with Übermensch police propaganda in the form of superhero movies, and an art cinema stuffed with placifying bourgeois masturbation, it's easy to forget the revolutionary power cinema can hold. And yet images continue to cut through state disinformation—whether it's the proliferation of videos on TikTok depicting the war crimes being committed in Gaza, or the utility of social media during the Arab Spring protests between 2010-2012.

Film Review: Misunderstood

Once the opening credits of Misunderstood (1966) have finished—a series of static shots of lovingly-maintained pastoral paintings, indicative of the bourgeois Florentine home much of the film is set in—we find our perspective locked to the side of a black car as it rolls up a lengthy driveway. The man inside, UK Consul General John Duncombe (Anthony Quayle), is returning from the funeral of his wife, a fact we learn after the car stops and our perspective switches to outside the car looking in.

Film Review: Black Tight Killers

When someone mentions “pop art” and “the 1960s”, it's easy to leap to the American titans: Andy Warhol; Roy Lichtenstein; James Rosenquist. And yet, as with most artistic movements, the seeds sown in one continent took lift and bloomed in countless others. In Japan, artists like Keiichi Tanaami fused Western visions of psychedelic excess with images characteristic of the Japanese contemporary; the new wave of acid rock pressed against the searing scars left during World War II.
