important film.
Quick... name how many African theme films (with the exception of Out of Africa) you've heard of or seen?
Lumumba isn't great film, if we judge by directorial skill. It is quite matter of fact but without the edge of the better documentaries. Rather, it is the calm, very understated style of the film and the quiet, burning-inside performance of the lead which make the film memorable.
If you believe that Africans are primitive, pre-human creatures not fit to govern themselves, as the Belgians did, this film probably will upset you.
If you believe the US hasn't intervened in others' countries leadership, similarly this film will trouble you.
For those others who are curious about a man whose name holds the same power as Che's does in all of Central and South America... I urge you to see this film.
