General Idi Amin Hobby-horse: Self-portrait

General Idi Amin Hobby-horse: Self-portrait is documentary realized by Barbet Schroeder in 1974 on the Ugandan president Idi Amin Dada. The film seems to mix reality and fiction so much the Ugandan dictator has " joué" its own character. At any time, the realizer does not judge or does not take party, for better capturing the exubérance of the character, known in addition for his brutality in the exercise of the capacity.

At the exit of film in room, Idi Amin Dada required two minutes of cuts, going, according to Barbet Schroeder, until holding as an hostage of the French nationals in a hotel to obtain satisfaction.
