This Ramblaholic chat goes into some difficult areas as I discuss my thoughts on the new Birth of a Nation film that aims to ‘reclaim’ the title.
Can it compete with one of the most important films in American film history? Does the gesture of reclaiming mean anything and is it effective? And why do we defend the 1915 film when it’s so desperately revolting in its messages?
Also some house keeping. I’m building a Patreon account and have a Paypal account should anyone wish to donate. The Paypal account is linked to this email address cynicalcelluloid@hotmail.co.uk
The patreon will be announced on its going live.
