Rage, Sex, and Jazz: I Spit on Your Graves is a deep dive into Boris Vian's provocative novel, which he penned under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan. Natacha Giler's documentary really captures the tumultuous atmosphere of post-war France. You get a sense of the tension between art and censorship, not to mention the audacity of Vian’s take on race and morality. There's a raw, gritty feel to the archival footage; it’s not just a history lesson but an exploration of a literary scandal that resonates even today. The pacing feels natural – it ebbs and flows with interviews and context, making you ponder rather than just consume. Definitely one for those who appreciate the darker corners of literary history.
