L’Avocat de la Terreur

A documentary about Maître Jacques Vergès, a controversial French lawyer who defended infamous clients from freedom fighters, terrorists, HIV patients contaminated by unscreened blood, dictators, Holocaust deniers and Nazis, possible victims of justice miscarriages, sex workers suing pimps for back pay. The documentary focuses particularly on his relationships with various political fighters and dictators in Algeria, Cambodia, Palestine, etc.

I’m not sure how well known he is outside of France, but it’s hard to overstate how notorious he is in France. How deeply polarising. The people he defended were some of the worst human beings on the planet, and some of the most oppressed. You get out of this documentary both in awe and appalled.

Cadillac Records

The story of Chess Records, and its Rock and Roll Hall of Famers executive Leonard Chess and artists Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin’ Wolf, Etta James, Willie Dixon, and Chuck Berry.

I don’t buy many CDs and am not much of a music fan anymore, but in my teens and twenties, I did buy a lot of them. I gave my entire collection to my daughter along with a CD player for Christmas a couple of years ago. Watching this movie reminded me of how much I loved these artists. Little Walter’s My Babe was a particular favourite. I checked my daughter’s collection and my CDs of Etta James, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter and Muddy Waters are still there.

But this movie was the first time I heard about their lives, albeit dramatised and not entirely accurate.

Either way, I’m gonna be listening to Little Walter’s My Babe on a loop again.

Wild Strawberries

I bought this after @thesweetpills recommended a few Ingmar Bergman titles to me, as I had not seen any of his films before. Thanks!

Professor Isak Borg, a grumpy old man, goes on a car journey from Stockholm to Lund where he is to be awarded the title of Doctor Jubilaris. Accompanied by his daughter-in-law who is returning to her husband, Isak’s son, Evald, he makes several acquaintances on the road with hitchhikers. The encounters provoke dreams and reflections on his life.

Deeply introspective, almost surrealist at times. Wonderful use of black and white cinematography, light, close ups and medium close ups, the use of silence and quietness, all enhancing the masterful acting from Victor Sjöström in particular. The first dream sequence took me by surprise in the best of ways, but even just the opening scene made me instantly regret not picking up the Ingmar Bergman boxset at HMV instead of just this individual film.

Great movie, just beautiful to watch.
