Winner of the Grand Prize at FESPACO 1995, Africa's pre-eminent film event, Guimba is a dark political satire in the guise of colorful fairy tale. Set in the mythical kingdom of ancient MaIi, Guimba tells the story of a despot who uses his dark magical powers to ruIe his kingdom.
Guimba is a tyrant who rules over the town of SitkaIi with an iron fist. Using a combination of sorcery and crueIty, 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 beautifuI Kani, but prefers her more voIuptuous 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 film whose costumes and sets rival 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. |
