Here’s an excerpt from Olivia Pop Cineropa review:
While focusing on the same period in his life, simply the new film of the titleFanonby French directorJean Claude Barney(It also has its origins in Guadeloupe and Trinidad and Tobago) can instead be seen as a popular view of a gorgeous, influential, intellectual life. The two films couldn’t be any more different. With its shiny cinematography style, Barny’s is far more commercially viable than its minimalist, black and white arthouse counterpart. Barny and ScriptPhilip Bernard,FanonIt just had a world premiere in a special screening section in 2024Marrakech International Film Festival.
FanonAs the ward chief of the Blida Joinville Psychiatric Hospital in Algeria, he crossed the Martinique-born Martian Haifenito’s nearly three years of stay, and finished after his departure. We witness how he changed the field of institutional psychiatry while he writes his now reconstructed psychoanalysis book on colonization.The miserable things of the earth. The film also drastically portrays Fanon’s support for Algeria’s opposing revolution through a secret conference, but never fully demonstrates that he is actually part of the National Liberation Front (FLN). [. . .]
Fanon is known for writing in a deep, emotional and inspiring style that can be difficult to access, but Bernie relies on digestible excerpts for intellectual writing. The harsh abuse of patients placed in parallel with universally understood cases of injustice reflects colonial struggles outside the hospital walls. And despite its obvious flaws, it must be well knownFanonHow it brings the work and life of a writer to the screen, and it stands out in a way that is very interesting and positioned well for a commercial audience. This is Barny’s real success. Perhaps Frantz Fanon will ultimately get the opportunity to become known names, not just scholars, activists, and those interested in pan-Africanism and decolonial thinking. [. . .]
