Auf allen Kanälen: Zu nahe an der Realität

Die belgische Serie «The Best Immigrant» nimmt den rechtspopulistischen Remigrationsdiskurs ins Visier.

The Atlantic—no friend to anti-fascist movements—is reporting that ICE Truppenführer Greg Bovino is being demoted.

No politician or political party did this. It only occurred because of grassroots resistance and direct action.

ICE will keep kidnapping and murdering until we ourselves stop them. 🏴

1. (Blood &) Sinners (1/2)
The vampire horror film by Black Panthers director Ryan Cogler, now nominated for 16 Oscars, is stylistically a mixture of From Dusk Till Dawn and Django Unchained. The black experience in the USA is central to the film. Not surprisingly, African-American (blues) music also plays a central role. In the 1930s, gangster twins Smoke & Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) open an African American bar in the southern states in a barn they bought from a Ku Klux Klan member. It feels like every single film critic has highlighted the two-minute choreography in this juke joint, which starts as a blues piece and ends in a fever dream with African tribal dances, a P-Funk guitarist, ballet dancers, and a DJ. A quick run-through of black music history. I found the scene where the main characters drive past a chain gang with a washed-up blues musician (Delroy Lindo) even more brilliant.

Sinners (2/2)
The drunkard is tempted to get out and confront the prison guards on horses, but is advised against it. The utter powerlessness of this moment and the African American trauma is then manifested in the actor's watery eyes and angry footsteps, which merge into a blues beat. The motif of the vampire film is a rich source of interpretation of the black experience in the USA. Self-mutilation, adaptation to the terrible majority society outside the barn, even cultural appropriation. To be honest, thinking about it was more fun than watching the film itself. Sinners samples too much from others, it's full of familiar set pieces, which is why this time the whole is no greater than the sum of its parts.
