It was a\u00a0suspenseful\u00a0drama with a change around every corner. What started off as a young man working for him and his ill friend, turned into a mans desperation to get out of his tragic situation after his ill friend passes away. My eyes were glued to the screen the whole movie. I loved how the dramatic music played during some\u00a0scenes\u00a0helped me really feel the\u00a0tension\u00a0and\u00a0suspense\u00a0for the movie.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas Provost shot <span><span>Amadou<\/span><\/span> (<span><span>Issaka<\/span><\/span> <span><span>Sawadogo<\/span><\/span>) \u00a0in various places with little lighting and lurking around as if he was some kind of criminal but also shot hot charm as way with the\u00a0opposite\u00a0sex that they just\u00a0couldn&#8217;t\u00a0control. The director also shot <span><span>alot<\/span><\/span> of the poor neighborhoods instead of showing nice area I feel to really display how it was for a immigrant to live in another country.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The film starts off on a nude beach, when two unexpected\u00a0immigrants\u00a0one by the name of \u00a0<span><span>Amadou<\/span><\/span> washes up on shore baring his ill friend in his arms. The story jumps to <span><span>Amadou<\/span><\/span> working\u00a0construction\u00a0for a company who also houses him and his ill friend. When his dear friend came up missing <span><span>Amadou<\/span><\/span> went crazy. He <span>sweet talked<\/span> his way into the life of beautiful\u00a0Agnes who is played by Stefania <span><span>Rocca<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span>The film was a great\u00a0piece\u00a0of work for a\u00a0foreign\u00a0film it was smooth, kept me entertained, and easy to follow the list could go on. This is definitely a must see cinema if there is a film festival near you,or theaters world wide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewed by Asante Rose Lewis.
