A masterpiece from Wole Soyinka, also a great screen production from Biyi Bandele.
9 November 2022
Looking forward to seeing more of Wole's literature adaptations. This also reminds me of the movie Aníkúlápó.

I loved having the sub titles to back my understanding of the movie, having left Nigeria at age 12 years old and growing up in Yoruba land, Ilorin in a household of Ondo Town Dialect, it brings back memories of hearing the whole family talking and chattering. Keeps the language alive for me. My favourite part is the context in which Soyinka has written the play, it leaves a lot of questions unanswered and in a way I think it is a clever ploy to engage the audience to form their own opinion on the script. Fantastic traditional songs and many carries old folk lore and saying, albeit very outdated today, beautiful drums, great soundtrack from Brymo. Awesome.
