Anikulapo

The adage is old. Fate has a weird sense of humor. I enjoy watching this type of movie, showcasing the Yoruba culture undiluted and grandiose. It is spectacular to see the costumes and hair styles and make-up very detailed. The soundtrack also blow me away, it sounds fine tuned to raise and deepen every emotional response as the film progresses. The simple but yet complex living of Africans in this case Yoruba of the old Oyo empire was captured by the directing and plot of the movie. The acting is also very believable, the main character "Saro" gave a very professional act, not to mention the uncredited casts as well. Everyone played their part very well. In essence don't die for nyansh lol.

The movie storyline was good and the cinematography was cool I must say I enjoyed the movie.

From the beginning I was the edge of the till the finish. Bravo to the Nigerian movie industry they are really trying this time and threats every project as if it's the best to come.

Thank you for anukulapo!!

It's a joy for the yoruba race lineage to see their history depicted in a good cinematography. As both enjoyable by the yorubas so those other good movie lovers will for a traditional movie. Anikulapo As it means in English who as conquered death. So as kunle afolayan conquered this movie. A true africa heritage it is. From the beginning to its this this vibe and rich characters that are not new to the nollywood blockbusters to the intrigue of the storytelling. This is a masterpiece for one of the best movie contender of the year. Yorubas should be proud so is the other true africa both in the continental.

I love the story, the cultural representation and the actors. Kunle outdid himself with this film. While i am Igbo, a different ethnicity to the Yoruba portrayed in this movie, I was not lost one bit and almost every scene was relatable as a person. The Settings looked authentic even though i have nothing to compare it to. But it just feels original.

The sex scene too was ok, not to erotic but enough to announce that Nollywood is ready for adding nude and sex scenes to movies to increase its standards. A daring move considering how reserved a lot Nigerian folks are.

Overall its an wonderful movie to see.

This is a movie that is based on betrayal, has really deep interpretations. It tells how a kings youngest wife fell in love with Saro a bachelor and Saro was sent on exile and died, in order to revive him the kings youngest wife which he loved used mystical powers to bring him back to life and they decided to move to a far away village , where Saro ended up betraying her by been promiscuous just because the kings youngest wife gave him powers to revive dead people, he started reviving dead villagers and felt on top of the world because the queen couldn't bear a child, he started taking wives for himself . Saro ended up betraying her. No regrets watching this .
