Review of Camp de Thiaroye (1988) by Walter M — 10 Jan 2018
A deft epic of a little-seen part of WWII. Full of humor, skill and agony, Sembene handles a broad ensemble winningly. One of the greatest war movies ever made. On a half million dollar budget, it gives us the world.
Nuanced performances keep outrage from spilling into polemic while Sembene exposes the quiet viciousness of colonial privilege.
