What's wrong with not wanting to be black? Don't you have to be black to be called right? If it could change in reality, I guess I would become white. . . . At least in the US. . . .

@filmoteca It's really how the plot can be as pompous as the acting is, and of course there are a few scenes that are quite touching.

9.3/10. Top Ten of the Year. Masterpiece by Douglas Sirke. The intertextuality and emotion of the two mother-daughter relationships are extremely deep, and the funeral scene is perfectly scheduled. The biblical stories and astrological movements are cleverly set to indicate the direction of the plot. With the help of mirrors/screens and even low angles The camera position is hidden or the character is exposed to create a sense of film. The fly in the ointment is that the male protagonist's image is flattened (suspected in a vase). Serke's art set tends to be perfect every time. Good at details and actions that match the plot
