    Burn!

    ★★★★½

    If Battle of Algiers was Pontecorvo's Fanon/Said movie, Burn! is his Lenin/Mao. Marlon Brandon plays an aristocrat mercenary who quotes On Guerilla Warfare to justify putting down or instigating a slave revolt. Only wish this was focused on a single historical event instead of being a catch-all story for 19th century Latin America and the Antilles.
