Looking for Langston 1989

Looking for Langston À Procura de Langston (Brazil) Isaac Julien UK English 1989 Biography, Drama 45min Ben Ellison, Matthew Baidoo, Akim Mogaji, John Wilson, Dencil Williams, Guy Burgess, James Dublin, Harry Donaldson, Jimmy Somerville, Stuart Hall, Langston Hughes Nesta meditação poética e lírica sobre a vida do celebrado poeta do Renascimento do Harlem, Langston Hughes, Isaac Julien invoca o escritor como um ícone cultural negro gay, contrastado com um cenário climático e impressionista, onde se traça um paralelo entre os bares clandestinos da década de 1920 e um bar da Londres da década de 1980. Trechos da poesia de Hughes são entrelaçados com o trabalho de figuras culturais dos anos 1920 e posteriores, incluindo o fotógrafo Robert Mapplethorpe. A black and white, fantasy-like recreation of high-society gay men during the Harlem Renaissance, with archival footage and photographs intercut with a story. A wake is going on, with mourners gathered around a coffin. Downstairs is an elegant bar where tuxedoed men dance and talk. One of them has a dream in which he comes upon Beauty, who seems to reject him, although when he awakes, Beauty is sleeping beside him. His story and his visits to the jazz and dance club are framed by voices reading from the poetry and essays of Hughes and others. The text is rarely explicit, but the freedom of gay Black men in the 1920s in Harlem is suggested and celebrated visually.
