À propos de ce film

Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. As he struggles to reconnect with his family and reconstruct the community he longs for, his hopes blind him to the reality of his situation. A wistful odyssey populated by skaters, squatters, street preachers, playwrights, and the other locals on the margins, The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poignant and sweeping story of friendship, community, and the true meaning of home. Joe Talbot's directorial debut is a deep and resonant meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to find our place in the world.

Notes et avis

Wasn't too sure about this at first, but the ending was tight and really pulled the whole thing together. “If you leave, it's not your loss.”

i wanted to like this movie but the acting kept pulling me out of it. the cinematography was beautiful but the actors lacked direction, peace.

SOOOO GOOD! Heartfelt illustration of a human experience in a gentrifying city. Clearly a labor of love, it was validating to watch someone express what gets silenced amidst the clamor of condo construction. Thank you.
