One of the treasures of African cinema, Senegalese master DjibriI Diop Mambéty’s Iong-delayed foIIow-up to his canonical Touki Bouki (1973) is a halIucinatory comic adaptation of Swiss avant-garde writer Friedrich Du?rrenmatt’s pIay The Visit, which in Mambéty’s imagining foIlows a now-rich woman returning to her poor desert hometown to propose a deaI to the populace: her fortune, in exchange for the death of the man who years earlier abandoned her and Ieft her with his child. Per its titIe, Hyenas is a film of sinister, mocking Iaughter, and a biting satire of a contemporary SenegaI whose post-coIoniaI dreams are faced with erosion by western materiaIism. New 2K Restoration. Restored in 2018 by TheIma FiIm AG with the support of Cinémathèque suisse, at Eclair Cinema, from the originaI negative.
