Neither P Nor James Baldwin but both Communism and Raul Peck

[Allan Balliett]

Raul Peck's ("I am not your Negro") newest film, "Young Karl Marx" (not to
be confused with the Mel Brooks' movie with a similar name) will be
streaming by Amazon Prime Video on June 1

I've been looking forward to this one for a while!

from wikipedia: The Guardian's review by Peter Bradshaw gave the film four
out of five stars and stated, "It shouldn't work, but it does, due to the
intelligence of the acting and the stamina and concentration of the writing
and directing."[6] In a review for Inside Higher Ed, Scott McLemee
described the film as "a nuanced and surprisingly accurate portrait of the
revolutionary as a young man", noting its faithfulness to the historical
record.[7] Writing for the New Statesman, Suzanne Moore described the film
as "sparky, brave and totally absorbing" and "in many ways a conventional
biopic, lifted by its performances, and by its insistence that ideas
matter".[8] A.O. Scott of the New York Times regarded it as being "both
intellectually serious and engagingly free-spirited." [9]
