CGiii Comment
The opening scene of a cow being slaughtered, then the goat and all the blood - not for the sensitive...
Easily, 30 minutes could be cut out without disturbing the achingly sparse narrative...and, the acting is blisteringly bad.
This film has earned respect out of political correctness...regardless of when and where it was made - it amounts to a thoroughly unpleasant experience.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Mory, a cowherd who rides a motorcycle mounted with a cow's skull, and Anta, a university student, have met in Dakar, Senegal's capital. Alienated and disaffected with Senegal and Africa, they long to go to Paris and work up different con schemes to raise the money. Mory steals clothing and money from a wealthy gay man who had brought him home, and he and Anta book passage on a ship to France.
