Lumumba (2000)

The true story of the rise to power and brutal assassination of the formerly vilified and later redeemed leader of the independent Congo, Patrice Lumumba. Using newly discovered historical evidence, Haitian-born and later Congo-raised writer and director Raoul Peck renders an emotional and tautly woven account of the mail clerk and beer salesman with a flair for oratory and an uncompromising belief in the capacity of his homeland to build a prosperous nation independent of its former Belgian overlords. Lumumba emerges here as the heroic sacrificial lamb dubiously portrayed by the international media and led to slaughter by commercial and political interests in Belgium, the United States, the international community, and Lumumba's own administration; a true story of political intrigue and murder where political entities, captains of commerce, and the military dovetail in their quest for economic and political hegemony.

A powerfully rich and incredibly sorrowful portrait.

Helps if you know something about the Congo, its history, and the major players before you see this movie. If you watch it just going in blind, I think there are many things that are not adequately developed or explained. Some things are largely glossed over and/or never addressed. Although it was well acted, I felt very detached from the film, never really engaging with the characters--the potential for this was huge, but never really realized. Still, I think it's a quick and dirty way to get some history. As with anything, however, don't rely solely on this movie for information regarding Lumumba, le Congo, Mobutu, and all else related.

The trouble with the film is not canonization but, again, the recurrent defect in pictures about such people. The ideational data are so sketchy that it is as if we were riffling the pages of a complicated book.

Never much more than hagiography that lets the context of its hero's death remain confused.
