Cosa aspettarsi
Released on the same day as a competing Thanhouser adaptation, the film records both the story’s enormous popularity and the racial stereotypes carried through its stage and screen history.
Come avvicinarsi al film
Historical importance does not make the representation neutral. Follow the system of sale and separation while remaining alert to caricature and sentimental framing.

A film can oppose slavery and still inherit dehumanising images. I think both facts must remain visible if we are going to understand what the adaptation asks us to feel.
