Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This 1973 first feature by Senegalese director Djibril Diop Mambety is one of the greatest of all African films and almost certainly the most experimental.

fresh:
Mr. Mambety mixes neo-realism and fantasy to create a mood of unease and aimless longing. The performances are good.
