Featured review
This is just a gorgeous film with great screenwriting, stunning cinematography and masterful directing. Actors are more than fantastic. Sceneries are breathtaking. Real visual simphony. Flawless rhythm of editing. Smoothness of mise-en-scène and camera movements are astonishing. Oniric parts of film are so well made, that they feel like an eye-massage. Storytelling feels magical. Relationships between people are wonderfully, yet simply presented. Besides the beauty of this film, you really feel like you lived in this harshness of African climate and you find yourself in the middle of this very human story and share the struggle of these people. This film is a pure masterpiece.
