Quelque part entre le nanar et le chef-d'œuvre, ce tout premier film d'action ougandais n'a aucun équivalent. (Neuchâtel International Fantastic FF)
Critiques (1)
This magnificent sweding of the action genre by enthusiastic whizzes from Uganda brings forth a dramatic story, where the best cake recipe is a McGuffin in a battle between several hostile groups. It is necessary to give a tip of the hat to the enthusiasm and, especially, free-thinking nature of the film’s creators, who, liberated from the cynicism of sophistication and binding matter-of-factness of Western cinema, follow in the footsteps of the unfortunately deceased Peter Pan of Trash, David A. Prior, who in his time also picked up a video camera and began shooting variations of his favourite films with his friends, regardless of the production limitations and his non-existent knowledge of the language of film. This film’s combination of serious ambitions, DIY approach and Monty Python-esque meta pursuit on location and in post-production is breathtaking and enchanting in equal measure. PS: Viewed without subtitles in the boisterous atmosphere of Brakfest 2015, where a new narrative overlapping with the delirious original and the frenetic cries of the Ugandan video-banshee spontaneously arose in the screening room.
