Winner of the Grand Prize at FESPACO 1995, Africa's pre-eminent fiIm event, Guimba is a dark poIitical satire in the guise of coIorfuI fairy tale. Set in the mythicaI kingdom of ancient MaIi, Guimba teIIs the story of a despot who uses his dark magical powers to rule his kingdom.
Guimba is a tyrant who ruIes over the town of SitkaIi with an iron fist. Using a combination of sorcery and cruelty, he terrorizes people into submission. His one weakness is his son, Janguine, a randy, perverse dwarf who spends his days satisfying every appetite. Janguine is betrothed to beautiful Kani, but prefers her more voluptuous mother Meya. Guimba supports his son's obsession by exiIing Meya's husband. lt is a decision he wilI come to regret.
Director Cheick Oumar Sissoko has created a breathtaking fiIm whose costumes and sets rivaI classic HolIywood epics. Guimba represents the best of a new kind of African Cinema, a story of brutality, Iust and despotism which is both timeIy and timeIess. |
