VHS Movie Reviews of Sugar Cane Alley [VHS]
Movie Review: Applicable to life anywhere 2 cultures have crossed
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excelent film.... It is applicable to any society, particularly Criolo, or in french 'creole' society; mixing of European and African ancestry. This reminded me so much of my own Cape Verdean Culture. Although, Cape Verdeans are Criolo mostly from African and Portuguese heritage, the stories are just about the same. An interesting voice from a different part of the world, depicting human dignity, genuinity and effects of Crioloness. Highly recommend this interesting take on humanity from Creole part of the world...
Summary of Sugar Cane Alley [VHS]
Touching without being sentimental, political without being preachy, this story set in 1930s Martinique is both lyrical and powerful. Writer-director Euzhan Palcy tells the story of a young boy who is orphaned at the age of 11 and sent to live with his grandmother, who works on one of the island's sugar cane plantations. Though he is bright, she realizes he has no future if he stays on the plantation. So she does what she can to keep him in school and away from the back-breaking, will-sapping hard labor to which she's devoted her life. Can he rise above his humble beginnings? Will he forget about his self-sacrificing grandmother and leave her behind? Palcy deals with these issues with great emotion but no false sentimentality in this poignant film. In French with English subtitles. --Marshall FineArt House & International VHS Video
