“I wanted to know what the evil was approaching”: it came out 50 years ago, this documentary is one of the most amazing and frozen

If it is naturally different in the form of fictional artwork, the emotional field opened by the documentary can be an absolutely devastating force. Because it echoes subjects about the intimate, questions that have been deeply found and ask about the relationship with the world.

Cinema has always been fascinated by politics. The opposite is true. Thus, we find – and fortunately – documentaries that can identify the true nature of power and its political dimensions, its cynicism, its brutality, its clientelism, as well as incomprehensible radiographs. In this registry, the extraordinary documentary of Barbet Schroder’s film is evident.

Here is the extract.

In 1971, the coup led to the president of Uganda Milton Obot. General Idy Amen Dada will replace him. Then begins the reign of an eight -year -old absolute terror, a regime that will make more than 300,000 dead …

General Idy Amen Dada is a very unique example. This is definitely a self -portrait that director Barbet Schroder offered to the interested party. “I wanted to know what the evil was approaching” Filmmaker trusted in April 2015, after Swiss cinema.

As a result of the project, which was fascinated by Hitler and his propaganda work, the triumph of the will, Amen Dada Cart Blanche transmits a film director, which she is slightly like her Lenny Rifenstahel. Staging, the dictator sometimes turns out funny, cruel, joking, tempting, threatening.

“When I think about all his victims, I feel better!”

“I think it’s a unique movie because it is very rare to not say unique to such a dictator. He is successful thanks to the innocence of the character we used; He will say Barbet Schroder.

At the end of the documentary, the results of the result, Idi Amin, threatened to attack 150 French citizens in Uganda unless Barbet Schroder had to reduce it.

The filmmaker performed himself. There are three of them, total 2min 21 seconds. The first also applies to the beginning of the documentary, on the scene of public execution, – – – Views that Amen Dada regime has disappeared several thousand of people. According to Tyrant, there were no political prisoners in Uganda, and the missing people were actually hiding in London … Shortly after the fall of Amen Dad, Barbet Schroder was reintegrating the cut pictures.

Without judgment and without participation, General Idi Amen Dada is a wonderful documentary, thank you – or for his main interpreter. The mind of the mind and the Utuu king, who finds even a small accordion air, is musically accompanied by this absolutely staggering self -esteem.

In 2007, in the DVD box of Barlotta, edited by Barlotta, General Amen Dada: Self-portrait had not yet published a publication in Blu-Ray. Severe injustice for such an important work.
