Yeelen (1987)

£0.00


Country: MALI
Technical: col 105m
Director: Souleymane Cissé
Cast: Issiaka Kane, Niamanto Sanogo, Aoua Sangare

Synopsis:

A young man flees his sorcerer father bent on destroying him.

Review:

Full of symbolism less accessible to Western audiences, but the images of water, tribal implements, and light (the title means 'The Light') have a cumulative mystical effect, and it is so bizarre it is compelling.
