Borderline - 1930 - 6/10
Groundbreaking film, far ahead of its time.
Paul Robeson stars as a husband whose wife is having an affair with a white man.
The local cafe where he resides tolerates the brouhaha, and him.
Villagers, however, see the affair as disruptive and blame Negroes for the problems.
A few, explicit in their racism.
Enjoyment may depend …
An experimental film, both in narrative and in editing, yet the pace is glacial.
Slow to say the least. Silent film, with very, very few intertitles.
