I liked that it was not your typical movie. But like most movies it did have a pretty girl in it.
If, like me, you enjoy the likes of José Saramago, Isabel Allende, and Gabriel García Márquez you are going to instantly LOVE this film. But even if you're not a fan of the genre, it will only take a tiny step of surrender to the mesmerizing sound of the ocean (almost constantly in the background, when not in the foreground of the story) for you to be completely transported.
The cinematography is impressive, which confirms in my mind that Claire Mathon was the cinematographer of the year in 2019, with this, "Atlantics," and, better yet, "Portrait of a Lady on Fire." She knows how to compose an image.
The tragedy of African refugees fleeing their home countries for Europe is captured here in a deeply personal way which completely avoids any preaching or bathos. Up there with African classics like Ousmane Sembene's BLACK GIRL.
Don't waste your time watching it..
Thought at first that this movie relates to Atlanta and the hip hop industry. That soundtrack was excellent and it reminded me about 1984 scifi~ish sounds.
This movie was interesting to me because of the insights it gave me into senegalese culture and society and was carried well by the leading actress and supporting actors. There isn't a performance that I didn't appreciate.
Lost 1 hour 40 minutes of my life. Not a great history.
