Play Dead

Regia – Patrick Lussier (2022) È divertente scorrere i titoli di testa di questo B movie di ambientazione ospedaliera, anzi, mortuaria, per guardare ai nomi coinvolti con il sorriso di chi riconosce qualche parente particolarmente simpatico, di cui il resto della famiglia magari non parla troppo bene, ma che a noi suscita un immediato moto di affetto e di tenerezza. Play Dead è diretto da…

The Man Upstairs (1958)

"Miss Grey! You keep saying that you're to blame, that you want to help! Well now's your chance, do you want to help or don't you?"

"Yes, of course I want -"

"Well, then tell them the story yourself, it will help them to understand better."

Bernard Lee is repugnant as the aggressive police #inspector who seems dead set on escalating events and cares nothing for Attenborough's vulnerable stranger; Dickie himself is astonishing #but takes a back seat for the second half as the film moves to concentrate on his fellow lodgers (a narrow array that might be meant to #represent society as a whole‚ one of the only parts of the film that doesn't quite work). a surfeit of great brit character actors all pull #their weight‚ but it's Australian Dot Alison who shines out as the tentative voice of kindness and understanding

"Rondo and Bob"

A choppy, rough documentary that's amateurishly made with crude dramatic recreations and a mess of a story. #PanicFest2022

I had a difficult time watching “Rondo and Bob,” a choppy, rough around the edges documentary about the career of the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” art director Robert “Bob” Burns and his obsession with 1940s film actor Rondo Hatton. The towering, strange looking appearance of Hatton was caused by a hormonal disorder known as acromegaly, and his unique physical characteristics got him cast…

Rondo and Bob: Documentary Review

“The evil that men do lives after them,” Robert Burns repeats the quote from Julius Caesar in the documentary Rondo and Bob as he struggles to imitate the emotions of Marc Antony in a school play. It might seem like a throwaway line, but the flashback scene provides insight into a young man whose instrumental work and talent made Tobe Hooper‘s 1974 horror film Texas Chainsaw Massacre so…

"When I first went to Jamaica in 2012 as a graduate student studying the environmental politics of the Maroons, an Afro-Indigenous community who freed themselves from enslavement in the 18th century and established an autonomous society in the mountainous interior of the island, Chinese overseas development policy seemed irrelevant to my work. Yet as my field research progressed over the following eight years, first as a doctoral student in African diaspora studies and then as a post-doctoral researcher, the impact of Chinese infrastructural development and extractive industry on the Jamaican people and environment became increasingly apparent.

The timing of my field work overlapped with an unprecedented surge in Chinese economic and diplomatic engagement with Jamaica and the Caribbean as a whole.

(...)

It is beyond the scope of this article to detail the political economic dynamics and immense social impact of debt in Jamaica over the last 40 years.4 Suffice it to say that the island became a byword for structural adjustment during this period, with every new loan from the World Bank, or default on payments thereof, coming with International Monetary Fund-mandated austerity.

Health and education were notable casualties of this socio-economic assault. By the start of my field research, Jamaican child mortality had almost doubled over the span of a single decade while completion of primary school dropped from 97% to 73% in the same period. This despite the fact that Jamaica had already repaid more money than it had been lent, with continuing debt servicing accounting for a 106% debt-to-GDP ratio according to the latest World Bank figures.

All this is only a small snapshot of the catastrophic outcomes of debt wielded as a tool of neocolonialism.

With the island’s status as one of the most indebted countries on the planet, Chinese infrastructural development was received with fanfare from Jamaican elites, a possible economic lifeline out of the debt trap.

(...)

Jamaican elites may appreciate that they can pay back debts with land, and that China does not directly require broad policy changes like the structural adjustment conditions of IMF and World Bank loans.

However, even with the above and the fact that the Jamaican debt to China is small compared to that claimed by Western IFIs and private firms, Jamaican politicians are growing increasingly wary of the costs of doing business with China. In November 2019, Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced that Jamaica would no longer borrow from China, a scant seven months after formally joining the BRI.

As usual, most Jamaicans are not privy to the inter-governmental discussions and deals driving these decisions, but their government’s newfound reticence in engaging with China reflects deeper concerns among BRI partners that the initiative is a debt trap.

(...)

Almost two decades of Chinese loans and infrastructure-led development have left Jamaican workers and farmers as precarious and dispossessed as ever. The hard-fought and generational struggle for Jamaican workers’ power (trade unions were instrumental to Jamaica’s independence struggle) has been curtailed and rolled back by China’s transposed sovereignty.

Furthermore, Chinese mining interests appear poised to pick up where their Western counterparts left off in terms of irreversible ecological destruction and threats to indigenous survival. Certainly, Jamaica cannot bear another 50 years of capitalist exploitation and extractive industry.

If there is any hope in turning this dire situation into revolutionary momentum, it will be in Jamaicans making common cause with the Chinese laborers imported to the country. According to China Labor Watch, Chinese workers on overseas BRI projects are often subject to “deceptive job ads, passport retention, wage withholding, physical violence and lack of contracts” to the extent of constituting forced labor and human trafficking.

In fact, at least one Chinese worker in Jamaica has already blown the whistle on such conditions. Unfortunately, as of the time of writing this article, there appears to be no organized effort to make solidaristic alliances among Jamaican workers, Chinese workers, and Maroons. The Maroons are organized as an indigenous community seeking land and sovereign rights, rather than workers seeking class emancipation, and remain locked in a fractious political battle with the Jamaican state toward those ends.

Furthermore, the cultural and language barriers between Jamaicans and imported Chinese workers are significant. Yet both countries have rich revolutionary traditions. If Jamaican labor militancy and Maroon struggle were able to reconcile and align their interests, while cultivating strategic allies among the heavily exploited Chinese workers, a powerful relationship of international solidarity from below could be forged."
