A postcolonial film by Africa's greatest director

Sembene is clearly at his best when trusting in cinema's powers of observation.

Sembene's lyricism is perfectly captured in this fable. A stroke of genius, and worthy introduction to his work (and that of african cinema) for the uninitiated.

Continuing his exploration of the African culture and it's relationship with the French colonial empire, Sembene goes deeper into his criticism of his society and the people around him. This film once again show a very African view of some situations and the specific way people deal with daily adversity in a country that hasn't yet fully found it's way out of the colonialist way of thinking. I really liked the film although some elements were unclear to me, probably due to my lack of African culture knowledge, but it's a good film and a piece of social cinema that demonstrate a certain way of life at a certain time in a certain place. Interesting from start to finish.

It is an interesting movie about post-colonial Senegal. Sembene's perspective is quite a nihilistic one because he criticizes the archaisms of African traditions (the protagonist is lazy and sexist), the colonial heritage (the movie is not too kind on French-type administrations) as well as the corruption of post-colonial nouveaux riches. It is also reminiscent of the Soleils des Independances by Kourouma (a famous Ivorian novel on a similar topic).
