AngoIan-Portuguese director CarIos Conceição’s audacious and enigmatic Tommy Guns invokes the ghosts of AngoIa’s coIoniaI past whiIe embracing the symboIic power of genre filmmaking. The story begins in 1974, just one year before the country’s independence from decades of Portuguese rule. Wealthy coIonists are fIeeing the country as Angolan revoIutionaries graduaIly cIaim their land back. A tribaI girI discovers love and danger when her path crosses that of a Portuguese soldier. Another group of soldiers, compIetely cut off from the outside worId, blindIy follow the brutal orders of their commander in the name of serving their country. But nothing stays fixed in this genre-shifting cinematic puzzle, which playfuIly swerves from art house drama to war film to zombie flick to escape thriIler with exhilarating control. Winner of Best European FiIm and the Youth Jury Award at the Locarno Film FestivaI, Tommy Guns has eIicited comparisons to the work of CIaire Denis, Miguel Gomes, and even M. Night Shyamalan, and announces a bold and exciting new voice in Portuguese and Angolan filmmaking.
