The Burial of Kojo

This film is beautiful. never seen anything like this before in the history of African cinema.

Great African storytelling and visually gorgeous. It made me feel less sad about losing my mom recently.

The Burial of Kojo has so many beautiful elements from a wide variety of styles. Never seen anything like it. Highly recommend.

Another movie denied its proper place rating-wise by a sparsity of ratings! this was lovely to watch, with a beautifully haunting (original?) soundtrack and surreal, yet captivating cinematography. it's very much a thematic, atmospheric film. there isn't much of a "plot" and while the description / synopsis makes it sound like the movie focuses on the adventures of a girl across a magical land, that isn't the main focus, it's more of a glimpse into life, mythology, setting, guilt, death. less provocative are the characters, who don't stand out very much, and character development often feels a little forced.

This movie was so well written. The cinematography was amazing and capturing. It was so deep filled with meaning and didn't end in a typical way. A must see.
