Neptune Frost is a 2021 science fiction romantic musical co-directed by Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman and starring Cheryl Isheja, Elvis Ngabo and Kaya Free. Set in a post-civil war Rwanda spanning past, future, and present times, the film follows the relationship between an intersex hacker and a coltan miner. Ezra Miller is a producer and Lin-Manuel Miranda an executive producer.
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.[3]
Neptune Frost uses music, African oral tradition[4] and song-poetry to express the complexity of Burundian and Rwandan identities explored in the film.[5] The narrative structure unfolds through musical and rhetorical allegories[6] around themes of patriarchy[7] and feminism.
