A mixture of cinematic nostalgia (young Teno falls in love with the movies by watching Indian melodramas), faux documentary, historical footage, polemic essay, even an hilarious yet politically searing cabaret act! Africa is "fleeced" by not only the former colonial powers but also the local bourgeoisie as Teno fuses present and past in this beautiful yet melancholy visual poem. An extremely personal meditation that offers its own often surprising solutions for what Teno describes as "our present-day quagmire."
Jean-Marie TENO, 1992, 88 minutes
