Trivia
At the end of the film, when the character of Seydou urgently leaves the building, it is another actor than Benjamin Sanou who is running. This is Sebastien Lopes, an amateur actor who was originally chosen to interpret the role. The crew had started shooting with the latter, but on the 3rd day, during the "pursuit race" with the civilian cops, he tore his muscles, preventing him from continuing shooting. That's how Benjamin Sanou joined the film. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

I saw 'Bonobo' at the 2018 Melbourne International Film Festival and thought it a cleverly interwoven story of intersecting lives, all influenced by the spasmodic behaviour of the elevator. It was all the more impressive on a second viewing. It winds up the audience with all the frustrations of modern life: bureaucrats who don't listen, companies with no service, social injustice. It's a universal slice of life in 2018 we all can recognise.
