NO FEAR, NO DIE
Special Features: 25th Anniversary | New 4K Restoration
Isaach de Bankolé and Alex Descas star in the under-seen second feature by celebrated director Claire Denis, an unflinching portrait of two Black immigrant men from Benin and the French Antilles, scraping out a living through illegal cockfights in a restaurant basement on the outskirts of Paris. As their restaurateur partner, portrayed by French New Wave legend Jean-Claude Brialy, demands more violence and blood, bonds fray and tensions escalate out of control — all set to a slow-burning score by South African jazz great Abdullah Ibrahim. Inspired by the writings of postcolonial philosopher Frantz Fanon, NO FEAR, NO DIE viscerally evokes the psychic trauma experienced by outsiders in a majority-white society. (Note courtesy of BAM.)
