    A direct expression of a message that matters

    This film is a long way from sophistication. But it has a lot of sincerity, expressed with a directness that gets through to me, although I don't know very much about Senegalese film. It can't be compared with the subtle work of the great Ousmane Sembene, but it has its own virtues. One of its stories, the fate of a warrior resisting colonialism, is truly involving.
