Félicité

Felicite is a proud, free-willed woman working as a singer in a bar in the Congo's capital Kinshasa. Her life is thrown into turmoil when her 14-year-old son gets into a terrible car accident. To raise the money to save him, she sets out on a breakneck race through the streets of electric Kinshasa - a world of music and dreams.

"Mr. Gomis's cinematic style is spectacularly multifaceted. The camerawork and cutting often have the fleetness of a documentary, but there's nothing sloppy about them." - Glenn Kenny, The New York Times

Think High Noon set in Kinshasa and backed by a Congolese beat. - Scott Marks, The San Diego Reader
