 RACIST FARCE July 29, 2003
Another best Foreign Film Oscar winner, 1976's BLACK AND WHITE IN COLOR (Home Vision Entertainment) is a farce on racism and political chauvinism that's set in South Africa during World War I. When a group of inept French colonials learn their country is at war with Germany, they -- in a fit of idiotic patriotism -- decide to attack their German neighbors who reside up river, touching off a series of unfortunate events (as Lemony Snicket might say). A great extra is the documentary THE SKY ABOVE, THE MUD BELOW. Recommended.
 Africa and the Colonialists! July 22, 2003
This is a great black comedy about the blinders that Europeans wore while living in Africa during World War I. 6 months or so after the outbreak of World War I some French never-do-wells discover that their country is at war with the Germans. As proof of their patriotism they(with the help of uncomprehending African colonials who receive about one day's 'military training') decide to attack a German outpost across the river. What follows is a rout.
The other movie, The Sky Above, The Mud Below is also an enjoyable 'travelogue' of New Guinea over 40 years ago. It won an Academy Award for Best Documentary. What is surprising is that there is some male full frontal nudity in the movie. Evidently when showing the 'natives' it was permissible in those days.
