VHS Movie Reviews of Quartier Mozart
Movie Review: second time to try to post my review
Summary: 4 Stars
it was gritty, raw and interesting, great film, as per my main review hopefully appearing right under this review when you do a search by movie.Movie Review: Africa never seemed as visceral and ahem, MODERN!
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this. Something I can't put my finger on, but it had a real, raw feel to it but wholly accessible to us Westerners/Americans. It was strangely charming, just so gritty but endearing. Another example that less is more, so HEAR THAT JAMES "cocky SOB" CAMERON? This had a reduced, but REAL feel to it and it was bizarre for me admittedly to see such a people I consider so 'backasswards' (as we say in TX) to have such American cultural references. All the characters were so believable, real, affable, and the syncopated music was totally MTV. An unusual experience but a great, pleasurable one. C'est si bon....quel terrible! C'est magnifique!Movie Review: Africa never seemed as visceral, real and ahem, MODERN!

Summary: 4 Stars
Flying in the face of the quiet eternal African dramas that find favour in the West, Bekolo's debut feature is a wild ride through the vanities and sex games of one corner of Yaounde. A cocky young woman nicknamed Queen of the Hood gets the neighborhood sorceress to turn her into a man so she can satisfy her curiosity about the other side. Cockier than ever, she moves among the quarter's players, wise women and pompous old men, getting an in-skin lesson in gender. The story mixes magic and satire. the characters feel tradition through a filter of Nike and Denzel Washington. The style is marked by colour, jump cuts and tons of music. For its groundbreaking style and liberating content, this is one of Africa's most important films.Cameron Bailey Now Magazine, Toronto April 1996
