Lumumba

Lumumba 2000

6.80

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.

This film is the result of more than two years of work tracking down archive material and witnesses close to Mobutu in Africa, Europe and the U.S. More than 950 hours of footage have been seen by the world. Among the 104 hours selected as the basis for this film, are 30 hours of archives recently discovered in Kinshasa and never before released. Completing these exceptional documents, are more than 50 hours of interviews with those close to the former president and the events surrounding his reign, conducted by the director in Kinshasa, Brussels, Paris and Washington. Like a vast historical puzzle, this film pieces together the tragic history of a country, and its self-styled leader - the dictator, Mobutu Sese Seko, "King of Zaïre".

Abbé Donato believed he could live a quiet little life, far from all temptation, in the village of Sainte-Urulle, well placed in the race for the title of asshole of the civilized world.

Pleasures that the Baroness de Bailleux, a young nymphomaniac aristocrat, has nevertheless decided to introduce him to. Having fallen under her spell, the clergyman discovers that she is also the muse of a Satanist priest who officiates in a neighboring town, Canon Debruges, and, incidentally, the mistress of a psychiatrist who is a member of the Gilles de Rais fan club. Having become the baroness and the canon's plaything, the abbot enters a downward spiral that will take him to the limits of morality and even madness.
