Today we are going to talk about a movie that perfectly captures the nature of politics across Africa. Yes, the movie is set in Madagascar, but I’m going to look at it as an outsider, solely based on what is presented.
Disco Afrika directed by Luck Razanajaona brings to life issues that hit close to home, I am talking land grabbing, political protests, extrajudicial killings, and the fight for a decent life. But this is not a fast-paced political thriller that will leave you dizzy from the eratic editing. This is more of an art film, and all the “art film” tropes are in full flight.
