Yeelen

Mali

A film based on legends, magic, rituals, folk tales of all sort. Pretty silly to my eye. Good looking color photography took full advantage of the sere landscapes. Lead warrior was quite striking and played his rather wooden part well. It did have value as anthropology.

But while this held my interest as exotica, as a modern-day film it was pretty far short of the mark.
