Tableau Ferraille

1h 28m

Moussa Sene Absa's most recent film dissects the social chaos engulfing much of Africa through the story of an idealistic young politician's rise and fall. TABLEAU FERRAILLE offers an intimate view of how modernization, at least as practiced in today's Africa, corrodes traditional communities and retards grassroots development. Like such past Senegalese masterpieces as Ousmane Sembene's XALA and Djibril Diop Mambety's HYENAS, it deplores a corrupt post-colonial elite's exploitation of the promise of African independence.
