So, 'Je ne suis pas moi-même' is a documentary that really digs into the African antiquities market. It's shot in both Cameroon and Brussels, which gives it this interesting duality. The pacing is contemplative, letting you sit with the weight of the themes, especially around the ethics of art collection. You see these masks, these objects that carry so much history, and then you start to question their journey—where they've been, who they've passed through. The film does a decent job of highlighting the contradictions of a European market that craves these tribal artifacts while often ignoring their origins. It's not just an observation; it's like you're being invited to think about the broader implications of cultural ownership. It’s distinct in how it combines personal stories with larger socio-political questions.
