When Samba is sitting in the Metro waiting for a train, behind him is a poster with the heading 'Pasolini Roma'. This is an advertisement for an exhibition that examined the works of writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini and in particular, his interactions with Rome. The exhibition was not limited to his cinema work but also included poetry, politics, his commitment to city life, sex, and friendship. It was held in three cities - Barcelona, Paris and Berlin, with the Paris exhibition at the La Cinémathèque Française running form 16th October 2013 t0 26th January 2014. See more »
A continuation of the last scene showing Samba walking through Paris is seen behind the initial credits (till around one-third of the way through the credits). See more »
The theme of the movie is not simple, or even disturbing, Hard to be a refugee, even if you are a good man, But the subject is presented beautifully, You laugh and cry with the characters, That's how it is in life. All the actors are great, but the leading actors, outstanding! Who plays the role of Samba was an actor in another great movie
And that is that great!
Do not really understand movies, But if you sit transfixed chair the film, was running a good movie!
