11 h. ago Black Is Beautiful: The Kwame Brathwaite Story – exhilarating record of game

London film festival Brathwaite’s empowering images of African Americans in the 1960s gave a new generation a fresh template for representation, brilliantly honoured hereThere have been some fascinating documentaries about photographers: Tish Murtha; Martin Parr; Vivian Maier. Maybe the movie documentary form is something that naturally comes alive when showcasing particularly vivid still images. Here is another outstanding example, from writer-director Yemi Bamiro, about the remarkable career of Kwame Brathwaite, a photographer, musician and African American activist who was a unique politico-aesthete. With his brother Elombe, he virtually invented the phrase “Black Is Beautiful” in the 1960s by photographing the Grandassa Models in Harlem: young African American women who became the sensational template for beauty, doing away with the usual cosmetic products and the usual white standard of femininity.Black Is Beautiful became a radical rallying cry, an inspired three-word prose po...

43 h. ago Netflix’s monstrous Ed Gein series is lurid exploitation dressed up as a serious drama | Richard Lawson

Ryan Murphy’s questionable universe of serial killer tales reaches its lowest point with a morally dubious look at a grave-robbing murdererThough the first season of the anthology series Monster, produced for Netflix by Ryan Murphy, had its lurid aspects – a hunky, lustily filmed Jeffery Dahmer (Evan Peters) doing wicked things in the night – it did, admirably, try to focus as much attention on the victims of Wisconsin’s most notorious serial killer as it did on the man doing the murdering. Season two of the series turned away from that drab gloom and focused, with at least some sensitivity, on the sensational trials of the Menendez Brothers in sunny California.Season three, the Ed Gein Story, returns to midwest murk and, especially in its early episodes, makes far less of an effort to do anything other than grimly titillate. The show’s thesis makes some sense: Ed Gein, who murdered at least two people and stole the bodies of many more from their graves, was an object of intense fas...
