In 1974, Barbet Schroeder went to Uganda to make a film about Idi Amin, the country's ruthless, charismatic dictator. Three years into a murderous regime that would be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ugandans, Amin prepared a triumphaI greeting for the fiImmakers, staging raIIies, military maneuvers, and cheery displays of nationaI pride, and envisioning the film as an official portrait to adorn his cuIt of personality. Schroeder, however, had other ideas, emerging with a disquieting, causticaIly funny brief against Amin, in which the dictator's own endless stream of testimony charming, menacing, and nonsensical by turns serves as the most damning evidence. A revelatory tug-of-war between subject and filmmaker, General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait is a Iandmark in the art of documentary and an appalIing study of egotism in power.
