[CHINUA] ACHEBE: A WORLD OF IDEAS
ENG 109: Western World Literature
HUM 211: Cultures & Literatures of Africa
From The Moyers Collection comes this insightful videotaped interview with Chinua Achebe, originally filmed for Bill Moyers' PBS television series A World of Ideas (1989). Achebe discusses the role of the African storyteller, one who hears the music of history and weaves the fabric of memory, one obliged to be the people's collective sometimes to offend "the Emperor" in so doing. "It is the storyteller... who makes us who we are, that creates history." A man caught between two worlds, Achebe discusses his observations and criticisms of both African and Western politics and culture, the stages in his awakening to inaccurate and demeaning depictions of black Africans in works such as Conrad's Heart of Darkness, to his closing advice that the West: "listen to the weak." 30 min. Distributed by PBS Video, Public Affairs Television, WNET/New York and WWTTW/Chicago, Alexandria, VA; 1989. Films for the Humanities, 1994. 28 min.

1998; PolyGram Video, 1999; 124 min.  Rated R.
Dir. Shekhar Kapur; Prod. [get rest of credits]
Perf. Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Joseph Fiennes, Richard Attenborough, Christopher Eccleston.
England, 1554, a young passionate Elizabeth Tutor (Blanchett) comes to the throne amid bloody turmoil. A thriller of intrigue unfolds in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, among her courtiers: the venerable Sir William Cecil (Attenborough), her lover the Duke of Leicester (Fiennes), the imperious Duke of Norfolk (Eccleston), and her adviser Walsingham (Rush).  Elizabeth must learn to weigh her counsel carefully and ignore her private yearnings if she is to keep her crown--and her head.  Cate Blanchett won the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a Drama, and the film earned seven 1998 Academy Award nominations.

Dir. Karel Reisz; Prod. Leon Clore; Screenplay: Harold Pinter, based on the novel by John Fowles.  Perf.  Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons, Leo McKern.
Streep and Irons star as two separate pairs of lovers in this haunting adaptation of Fowles's best-selling novel set in Victorian England.  Pinter interweaves Victorian and contemporary love stories, the second following an off-screen affair between the two actors portraying the central roles in the film-within-a-film.  The ingenious parallel plots yield fascinating insights into the passion and mystery that can pull two people together--and just as easily tear them apart.  This literate, imaginative, and visually stunning film earned five 1981 Academy Award nominations.

MAPANTSULA
Non-European: Cultures & Literatures of Africa
The first anti-apartheid film by, for and about black South Africans, Mapantsula (review from California Newsreel) was filmed inside Soweto and scored to the urban beat of “Township Jive” by directors Thomas Mogotlane and Oliver Schmitz, who deceived South African authorities into believing they were shooting a conventional gangster movie. Instead Mogotlane and Schmitz made an uncompromisingly honest anti-apartheid film endorsed by the ANC, banned by South African censors and acclaimed at film festivals worldwide. Panic, the central character (and acted by Thomas Mogotlane), is a mapantsula, Zulu term for petty crook and a popular rebellious figure in urban folklore and fiction. The 1988 film traces Panic’s transformation from irresponsible individualist to a man compelled to take a stand against an unjust system. (In English, Sotho and Afrikaans, with English subtitles.)

This critically-acclaimed film (1985) of Athol Fugard’s confessional drama depicts a white adolescent’s personal initiation in the abuses of racial power during a long afternoon of crisis and revelation. Set in a 1950 tea room in apartheid-era South Africa, "Master Harold"...and the Boys delves into the special relationship between Hally ("Master Harold," played by Matthew Broderick), and Willy and Sam ("the boys" who work for Hally’s family, played by celebrated black South African actors Zakes Mokae and John Kani, who has also collaborated with Fugard in playwrighting).

WEND KUUNI 
Non-European Cultures & Literatures: Africa
International award-winner Wend Kuuni ("God's Gift"; Burkina Faso, 1982; 70 min.), directed by Gaston Kabore, offers a "gentle fable" of a mute, memoryless orphan found and adopted by a village. Renamed "Wend Kuuni," or "God's Gift," the boy finds real community and recovers his ability to communicate among adopted family and village, even as flashbacks ironically reveal his mother's fate after rejection by her native community. Set before the coming of Islam and Christianity, unveiled through the rhythmic compositions of African oral storytelling, Kabore's fable offers lessons for contemporary Burkina Faso: traditional Mossi values yet have the power to heal and unify a modern African state torn by dislocation, refugees, and social conflict.
