It was very slow moving. It was boring. It was frustrating and predictable. I would not recommend the movie or the book. I did not feel bad for the main character; he seemed selfish and angry.

Could be remade in America today without any loss of relevance. "Sorry, but do you have proof of legal presence?"

Continuing his exploration of the African culture and

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.
