Beloved (1998)
Country: US
Technical: col 172m
Director: Jonathan Demme
Cast: Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise
Synopsis:
In the 1850s a black slave leaves her plantation in Kentucky for a free life in Ohio, but Schoolteacher catches up with her. Years later she and her loved ones pay in the strangest way for the choice she made that day.
Review:
Beginning with a violent poltergeist and containing scenes of horror and degradation, this is also an astonishingly lyrical film, so that halfway through its considerable length one is still unsure how to respond. Central casting may be slightly off-kilter but it is an impressive fable about the price of human bondage.
