    Excellent African drama

    It doesn't have the bite of African cinema of the late 60s and 70s, but this drama from Burkina Faso manages to brilliantly convey the banality of modern day corruption. There's an excellent letterboxed, subtitled print currently in circulation on BETM and it's well worth catching.
