A24's "The Last Black Man in San Francisco" is a beautiful and moving film about gentrification, friendship, and the power of dreams. Jimmie Fails (Jimmie Fails) is a young black man and a beautiful Victorian house his grandfather owned, though his family was evicted from it years ago. Jimmie is determined to reclaim his home, and his quest leads him on a journey through the changing city of San Francisco.
The film is a love letter to San Francisco, but it also takes a hard look at the ways in which gentrification is displacing black and brown residents. Jimmie's story is one of many, and the film does a powerful job of showing the human cost of gentrification.
But The Last Black Man in San Francisco is more than just a film about gentrification. It is also a story about friendship, love, and dreams. Jimmie's friendship with Montgomery is one of the most heartwarming things about the film. The two men support each other through thick and thin, and their bond is unbreakable.
The film is beautifully shot and scored. The cinematography captures the beauty of San Francisco, from its iconic landmarks to its hidden gems. And the score by Emile Mosseri is both haunting and uplifting.
The Last Black Man in San Francisco is another A24 home run. It is a powerful and moving story about gentrification, friendship, history, and the power of dreams.
