Ron's rages are sincere and — according to his wife — healthily cathartic. But can these splenetic outbursts loosen the grip of capitalism at its most monstrous?
Race (PG)
Directed by Stephen Hopkins
3/5
THE saga of legendary black US athlete Jesse Owens winning four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics despite being up against Adolph Hitler’s vision of Aryan supremacy has never lost its impact.
While at times Stephen Hopkins’s film seems as much hagiographic as biographic, its anti-fascist message still hits hard despite some naive storytelling.
