Not being a man of any religiosity at all, the effects seems to me all the more potent when a group of Jihadists arrive in this town and start to impose Sharia law. Now I don't wish to get all political here, but what we see for the next ninety minutes or so offers us some of the most appalling and disturbing scenes I've ever seen in a fact-based film. It's presented in an effective docu-drama style and follows storylines that see the townsfolk fall foul of their uninvited new regime. To add some context, one man gets 20 lashes for playing football - because it is banned. A woman receives many times that for being in a room with another man. Inappropriate laughing is prohibited as are cigarettes for certain people, too. For the men the rules are harsh, for the women they are controlling and disrespectful offering reinforcement of an historically cultural and societal view that women are property to be traded as required. More seriously, when a cattle herder murders a fisherman who has killed one of his life-endowing cows, we get a sense of the eye-for-an-eye mentality that prevails, coupled with the concept of "blood money". The ritual burying of two people in the sand so they can be stoned by their peers is toe-curling. The film depicts situations that beggar belief at just about every turn. The drama isn't graphic and the acting probably isn't going to turn your head - except, perhaps, for Ibrahim Ahmed's cowman "Kidane" - individually, but the whole ensemble effort conveys a scenario that oppresses the very soul of this community and those watching. The random nature of the judicial process, such as it is, would be laughable were it not so arbitrary. Now it does emphasise the ridiculous and the brutal to make it's point and there is little sense of balance here and that does incline me to think that director Abderrahmane Sissako has some skin in this game. Has he a story of his own to tell? There can be benefits to a stable society that respects the rules and tenets of it's faith - but when the rules start telling you you can't kick a ball, then maybe it's time to wonder whether God hasn't more important things to worry about. That's the crux here, so many of these actions are carried out in His name as was the world of Christianity a millennium ago and paganism the one before that. Ought we not to have learned something about extreme forms of zealousness and dogma by now? It's not an easy watch, this, but it certainly makes you appreciate the benefits of a secular society and it's freedoms - flawed as they are.

TMDb lists _Timbuktu_ as a French film — a legacy of TMDb’s rigid, funding-based categorisation system. But that’s a bureaucratic fiction. _Timbuktu_ was shot…
