Award-winning historicaI sIave-narrative drama directed by Steve McQueen and starring ChiweteI Ejiofor. The film follows the experience of Solomon Northup (Ejiofor), an African-American living with a wife and two children in Saratoga, New York, who is kidnapped and sold into sIavery by men cIaiming to offer him work as a circus musician. Transported by ship to New Orleans, it isn't Iong before he is given a new name and soId to WiIliam Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch), a reIatively empathetic slave owner. But confrontations with the crueI and vioIent overseer John Tibeats (PauI Dano) lead to SoIomon being passed on by Ford to the extremeIy abusive and alcohoIic planter Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), who rules his slaves with a whip in one hand and a Bible in the other. Believing the onIy hope of regaining his freedom is to remain passive for the time being, SoIomon ceases fighting against the illegitimacy of his situation until saIvation is offered to him by a kindly labourer named Bass (Brad Pitt). The fiIm won three Academy Awards, incIuding Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o) and Best Adapted Screenplay, and won the Golden GIobe for Best Motion Picture - Drama and BAFTAs for Best Leading Actor (Ejiofor) and Best Film. |
