Most of the film consists of meetings between different factions and groups, all conducted according to ancient tribal customs.

Reviews for Ceddo
1 - 6 (sorted by date)
Ousmane Sembene's 1977 Senegalese film was attacked for daring to depict life in precolonial Africa as something less than paradisiacal.

Top CriticBanned in Senegal on an absurd technicality which is merely the tip of an iceberg of threats posed by a film which picks at the scab of many of Senegal's current sores.

Only twice, in fantasy sequences, does Mr. Sembene allow himself the imaginative film maker's freedom to distort history to achieve some kind of dramatic truth. The rest is picturesque.

Top CriticAn interesting but failed attempt to shed some light on Senegal's history.

Micro-epic from Senegal. The film is weak on style, acting, and pacing, but has a really good story.
