Merchant of Slaves 

A brief look at two Barry Jenkins films that have established him as one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.

“Synchronic” is special, but it doesn’t succeed in achieving all the objectives it aims for. The film is a science fiction oeuvre which tries to be cerebral at some points, although the original idea is interesting, it only accomplishes to talk about some serious matters superficially.

This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.

The film follows the biblical story of Moses, from his time as a prince of Egypt, to a leader for the people of Israel. It’s a film that works brilliantly in animation, and is one that both children and adults can; enjoy despite its religious contexts, it is friendly to general audiences.

"His Girl Friday" set the bar for romcoms and gave us a feminist heroine before feminism was cool.
