I just published my review of "The Long Ballad" starring #dilraba and #wulei (and #zhaolusi and #liuyuning and #fangyilum). What a ride that was!

As #cdramas go I'd rate this show one of the best of 2021. I kind of wish I had watched it sooner, but there are so many great Cdramas out there I simply can't get to them all fast enough.

West Indies ou les nègres marrons de la liberté is a 1979 musical drama film directed by Med Hondo. The plot of the film, centered on french colonialism in the Caribbean, was adopted from the novel Les Négriers by Daniel Boukman. In an interview published the year of the film's release, Hondo said: "I wanted to free the very concept of musical comedy from its American trade mark. I wanted to show that each people on earth has its own musical comedy, its own musical tragedy and its own thoughts shaped through our history."
