(1969). Both deal with anti-colonial struggles, but are ambivalent about the tactics and results of those struggles. Pontecorvo left the PCI in 1956 and I think that both of these films present a Eurocommunist and pessimistic view of political struggle. For me, they ask whether democratic and socialist struggles will not always be subverted by the bad faith of leaders or masses. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Socialist, 22(2), p. 22-23 | Publisher: | Australian Socialist Collective | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1327-7723 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200211 Postcolonial Studies 190201 Cinema Studies |
