Customer Reviews of Hyenas
Hyenas Our opinion about this film is good. The actors act very naturally, but they aren't very famous actors.The landscape is very beautiful. The film is set in a very nice place. It's negative, because the text and the names aren't based on Dürrenmatts' play. You see, that the people are very poor! The film is too different from the book.
A Wonderful Allegory About Structural Adjustment.
It's been a while since I saw this film (I've seen it several times), but what most reviewers miss is it's allegorical message. The film isn't about the old woman wanting the man dead, but the symbols behind the actions. The idea of an outsider (or actualy someone whose been made wealthy in Europe) asking people to do things they normally would not bring to mind the economic reforms of structural adjustment. This funny and sad film conveys the sense of afro-pessimism so prevelant today.
already a classic of the African Cinema
Setting, pace and characters are beautiful developed in this masterpiece of the African Cinema. Diop Mambety used F.Duerrenmatt's original freely, but with a strong own identity and style. An old lady returns to her poor home town, after she became rich. Wondering why, the people start to talk. Slowly the viewer discovers her story. The old lady is aristocratic every moment of the movie, even in non-aristocratic moments...
Highly recommended for everybody, who likes real storytelling cinema.
