The Book of Esther (2013)
Shocking sense of both history and appropriation.
I get that Esther is part of the Christian canon. But it's a Jewish book. All the images of crosses at the beginning is ludicrous. Christianity was still a long way off. And it's just insulting.
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Shambolic
I'm not sure what accent that was meant to be in the opening sequence, but it rang severely false.
Then the toast one minute later used the word 'momentarily' to mean 'in a moment'
I knew I was is the hands of numpties and amateurs
Òlòturé (2019)
Broke the mould
I've watched a lot of Nigerian films. The quality can vary in terms of storyline, cinematography, actual acting, sound quality.
This film broke the mould in all those respects.
It's also a harsh intro to the forces which lead to human trafficking, modern slavery and all the horrors of modern W Africa and elsewhere that can't be ignored
There is a caveat....there are some scenes which I had to skip through.But it's great to see 'Nollywood' at its best
I retract that. This isn't 'Nollywood'. It's world cinema from W Africa and deserves recognition for being up there with some of the best films of the year worldwide from anywhere.
