Athena. Netflix. 2022.

I preferred Romain Gavras when he was depicting his muggers roaming Paris in Clockwork Orange style gangs like in the music video "Stress" by Justice.  Back then his vision seemed to be motivated by an outsider's malice for the French way of life, when being an enfant terrible meant that you had to trash everything white as "fascist" and pretend to yourself that Rich kids like Vincent Cassel and his rapper brother were real outlaws and not just underwear models for Giorgio Armani. Athena is a BLM fantasists fever dream where Far Right terrorists go to the trouble of dressing up as cops to group stomp a 13 year old boy half to death so his brothers can get free passes to burn down the shit hole banlieu they were spawned into. To the scorched earth! for Mon Frere! And if you get given an excuse to go on an anti white Jihad blaming an entire race for what a handful of wrong uns did to your brother,,,,it's justified,,,Naturally. The plot of this film...
