Director: Abderrahmane Sissako

 

“I have never seen a film quite like Bamako, Abderrahmane Sissako’s seething, complicated and disarmingly beautiful investigation of Africa’s social, economic and human crises. The agony of Africa has been explored, and exploited, in several high-profile recent documentaries and fictional features, from God Grew Tired of Us, about the “lost boys” of Sudan, to Blood Diamond and The Constant Gardener. Bamako is something different: a work of cool intelligence and profound anger, a long, dense, argument that is also a haunting visual poem.” - A. O. Scott (N.Y. Times)
