On Aug. 19, 1991 in Crown Heights (Brooklyn, N.Y.) a Hasidic man accidentally runs over a Black boy (Gavin Cato). Three hours later a young Jewish scholar (Yankel Rosenbaum) was murdered by Black youths. Four days of fire-bombing and riots ensued. Anna Deavere-Smith acts out the roles of these 18 persons involved in the racial conflict, trying to present the differing views of this serious problem. Includes actual film footage of the riots and violence. (fonte: Imdb)

I meant to read this before I saw the performance at Wayne State's Hilberry, but the cast and direction were so good that reading it several weeks after the show, I'm all the more impressed. This is a work that contains some references that are a bit dated, yet as a whole it is exceedingly timely. He's not a man without opinion nor one without a valid point.

In 1995, bell hooks interviewed Wolfe for Bomb magazine. In the interview he said, "When The Colored Museum happened, all these mediocre Negroes who regard themselves as the guardians of black culture attacked me because they thought I was attacking black culture, that I was doing things in front of white people that shouldn’t be done. They didn’t understand my arrogance, my belief that the culture I come from is so strong it can withstand public scrutiny. I don’t view black culture as a fragile thing. There are unquestionably economic realities and, without a doubt, racism and the machinery of power and the crap that gets done to men and the crap that gets done to women—all of that stuff is very real. It affects us. But if Michael Jackson can mutilate his body—and still create, make sounds that come out of him which are ancient, vocally—some part of his spirit remains intact, has not been violated. It doesn’t matter that he’s singing, 'It don’t matter if you’re black or white.' Even as psychological and intellectual mutilations take place, as long as there’s still a cultural base, anything that anybody writes or says or does is strong enough to withstand these violations."… (mere)

Qualcosa di buono
You're Not You
USA 2015
GENERE: Comm. dramm. DURATA: 93′ VISIONE CONSIGLIATA: T
CRITICA: 3 PUBBLICO: 3
REGIA: George C. Wolfe
ATTORI: Hilary Swank, Emmy Rossum, Josh Duhamel

Ricca, bella, pianista di musica classica, felicemente sposata con Evan, Kate si ammala di SLA. Mette un annuncio all'Università per cercare una persona – non infermiera professionista – che la assista senza farla sentire malata. È così che conosce Bec, 25enne, studentessa irregolare, incline al troppo bere e al sesso libero, aspirante cantante, trasgressiva e vitale. 2 donne che più diverse non si può, che lentamente imparano a conoscersi, a comunicare, che cambiano, ognuna delle due imparando molto dall'altra, legandosi sempre più in un'amicizia unica e profonda. Divertente ed emozionante – a tratti straziante ma non in modo banale –, è un film di attrici: la giovane Rossum capace di trasformarsi da dark tosta e cinica, confusa e spontanea, in ragazzina fragile e insieme forte, sensibile, attenta, generosa negli affetti; la straordinaria Swank, che deve aver studiato approfonditamente gli effetti di quella tremenda malattia, ne rende con il corpo, con gli occhi, con la voce, le trasformazioni inarrestabili, tragiche, strazianti, ma mai di facile commozione. Anche Duhamel disegna il suo personaggio a latere con poche ma efficaci pennellate. Dal romanzo di Michelle Wildgen.

AUTORE LETTERARIO: Michelle Wildgen
