Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris [665002] Released: 1971-05-05 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 27 mins Popularity: 0.6019 Vote Average: 7.118 Vote Count: 38 Overview: In 1970, a British film crew set out to make a straightforward literary portrait of James Baldwin set in Paris, insisting on setting aside his political activism. Baldwin bristled at their questions, and the result is a fascinating, confrontational, often uncomfortable butting of heads between the filmmakers and their subject, in which the author visits the Bastille and other Parisian landmarks and reflects on revolution, colonialism, and what it means to be a Black expatriate in Europe.
