<-- back The film opens with the French massacres in Algeria on May 8th 1945, ends in the archives of the Stasi, and in the two hours in between traces the unlikely political biography of French-Vietnamese lawyer Jacques Vergès: his days in the Resistance, student friendship with Pol Pot, marriage with Djamila Bouhired, disappearance for most of the 1970s, and, retold in a series of interviews, his involvement with many of the clients he defended, from members of the Algerian and Palestinian resistance to the Khmer Rouges, Carlos and Klaus Barbie. At the risk of stating the obvious: to screen this film right now is neither more nor less appropriate than it would be on any other day. Terror has a long history, and as it's getting longer, the need to acknowledge more than just the present moment is not suspended just because Daesh or Twitter may suggest so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pirate cinema berlin u kottbusser tor sunday, july 17, 9 pm l'avocat de la terreur barbet schroeder, 2007, 131 mins french with english subs 12 seats, rsvp first come first serve location in separate mail -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- () >< pirate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back |
