Twitter Capsule: Not extraordinarily distinguished in any one area but a social portrait of Ouagadougou both affable and gently cautionary.

VOR:   Droll tone, laconic camera, humanistically tempered social critique all familiar from more fully prepossessing films by Sembene, Mambéty, etc. Still a rare treat and a local landmark.
