The renowned Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembene reconfirms his stature both as a master storyteller and a distinctively humanitarian artist.

4.5/5

A rich, vivid and universal portrait of a community that is revealed fully as it reacts to a crisis: a community that will be buried by the past if it cannot look to the future. There's a lesson here, and Mr. Sembene presents it with grace and ease.

Alternately wise and very funny in its treatment of tribalism and in its grasp of neocolonial corruption.

3.5/5

Through Sembčne's wry attention to detail, we observe a great many things about village life that would otherwise pass unnoticed.

Sembene is hardly a didactic director and in fact invests his characters with such complexities that they are sometimes compromised.
