Wiki.
Neptune Frost is a 2021 science fiction romantic musical film co-directed by Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman, and starring Cheryl Isheja, Elvis Ngabo and Kaya Free. It follows the relationship between Neptune and Matalusa, coltan miners whose love leads a hacker collective. Ezra Miller serves as a producer, while Lin-Manuel Miranda executive produces.
It had its world premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors Fortnight section on July 8, 2021, and was released in the United States on June 3, 2022, by Kino Lorber to critical acclaim. Neptune Frost is the name of a black Revolutionary soldier who served in the Continental Army in 1775.Neptune Frost uses the musical genre to embrace oral tradition and song-poetry deep in the roots of African history and modern culture to express the complexity of the Burundian and Rwandan identities explored in the film. The narrative structure unfolds through musical and rhetorical allegories that acknowledge themes of patriarchy and feminist science fiction literature.
