Les noirs américains au cinéma: quelle image?

 Toujours une question sensible que celle de la représentation des noirs dans les films historiques. Réflexion de NELSON GEORGE dans le NY Times juste avant les oscars.

 "The four films noted here are contenders for a slew of major Oscars: “Django Unchained,” “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” “Flight” and “Lincoln.” In the year America gave its first black president a second term, some of Hollywood’s most celebrated films, all by white directors, dealt with black-white race relations or revolved around black characters, which is rare. For the first time in recent memory race is central to several Oscar conversations. But the black characters’ humanity is hit or miss. These films raise the age-old question of whether white filmmakers are ready to grant black characters agency in their own screen lives."
