Marseille après la guerre (2023)
The film uses a collection of post-World War II black & white photographs to portray the dockworkers of Marseilles, many of whom were of African descent. Set in and around a 1947 strike protesting weapons shipments to the French in Indochina, the images evoke the life and work of Senegalese filmmaker, Ousmane Sembène, a former dockworker, and one of the founding figures of the New African Cinema of the 1960s.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
