Disjointed and relatively uninteresting, 10 September 2004
4/10
Author: (ceylon@uga.edu) from Athens, GA

I saw this film and my main thought the entire show was, "What is the point?" The director is trying for such a surreal and disjointed film that he overshoots and makes one that is nearly incomprehensible. The topic jumps around from colonialism to neocolonialism, to book publishing in Cameroon, political violence, and stand-up comedy.

Scenes of violence or colonial propaganda are thrown into the film with the result being too jarring. Instead of feeling anything, you are just left confused as to what happened.

The title is drawn from the well-known french song, but there is very little to connect to that song other than a brief moment in the film and a vague theme of colonialism taking advantage of the colony. Since anyone watching this film would almost certainly be familiar with the basics of colonialism, the film doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
