Jean-Claude BARNY, 132 min, France, Luxembourg, Canada. Newly arrived as a doctor at the psychiatric hospital in Blida, Algeria, Frantz Fanon immediately proposes methods never before seen, driven by humanistic values that his colleagues openly question. Despite criticisms and reluctance, he continues his work and is soon noticed by the FLN, who invite him to join their movement. As tensions between the French army and the FLN increase, Fanon finds himself caught in the crossfire and engages in the fight for Algeria's independence. For this third feature film, Jean-Claude Barny delves into the life, writings, and struggles of psychiatrist and essayist Frantz Fanon, focusing on the period he spent in Algeria from 1953 to 1956, where his foundational reflections on the violence of colonialism took root. An immersive biopic with unfortunately current resonances.
