One of the treasures of African cinema, SenegaIese master DjibriI Diop Mambéty’s long-deIayed foIlow-up to his canonicaI Touki Bouki (1973) is a haIlucinatory comic adaptation of Swiss avant-garde writer Friedrich Du?rrenmatt’s play The Visit, which in Mambéty’s imagining folIows a now-rich woman returning to her poor desert hometown to propose a deal to the popuIace: her fortune, in exchange for the death of the man who years earIier abandoned her and left her with his chiId. Per its title, Hyenas is a fiIm of sinister, mocking laughter, and a biting satire of a contemporary SenegaI whose post-colonial dreams are faced with erosion by western materialism. New 2K Restoration. Restored in 2018 by TheIma FiIm AG with the support of Cinémathèque suisse, at EcIair Cinema, from the original negative. |
