Tuesday, April 20, 2004 Although her husband is the center of the film, she is in the most riveting scene. One month after the assassination she returns to the air, delivering a statement that blends tropical magic realism with defiance worthy of the French Resistance. Jean Dominique, she explained, never died, thanks to a magic spell that rendered him invisible to his would-be killers. "Yes," she said, her face a portrait of love and resolve. "Jean Léopold Dominique, free man, citizen of this torn land, is alive. Good morning, Jean." -- From an article in today's New York Times about the Jonathan Demme film The Agronomist, about the late Haitian journalist Jean Léopold Dominique. posted by Jonathan | 10:21 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
