Statues Also Die (1953)
Directed by a trio of
Alain Resnais, Ghislain Cloquet and writer Chris Marker this is a
short documentary. We see various pieces of African art and history.
Banned in France for
it's criticism of colonialism to modern ideas there are some
problematic elements to the way the film treats Africans. Very much a
watch only for those that like very arty cinema this may be a bit
boring to others. Certainly there is something going on here but the
film has not aged very well.
3/5
