This is the masterpiece of Boston French Film Festival. It’s a film rich with ambiguities and points of view, and vivid in the smallest details and in the landscapes of this soon to be forsaken land. This is the most frightening and insightful film I’ve seen of all the movies trying to come to grips with the chaos of post-colonial Africa.
