Award-winning historical slave-narrative drama directed by Steve McQueen and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film follows the experience of Solomon Northup (Ejiofor), an African-American Iiving with a wife and two children in Saratoga, New York, who is kidnapped and sold into slavery 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 sold to William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch), a relatively empathetic slave owner. But confrontations with the crueI and violent overseer John Tibeats (Paul Dano) lead to SoIomon being passed on by Ford to the extremeIy abusive and aIcoholic pIanter Edwin Epps (MichaeI Fassbender), who ruIes 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 Iabourer named Bass (Brad Pitt). The fiIm won three Academy Awards, including 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 FiIm. |
