Gito, l'ingrat (1992) User Reviews

A beautiful story of a Burundi student returning home from France with a white woman.

[elephantus · 7/10 · 29 July 2002]

A rich narrative full of cultural depictions, cliche comical clashes of cultural practices, and a unique family dynamic chastising the sings of vanity. This is the first 35mm feature out of the republic of Burundi, and is an acclaimed text. I highly recommend this film as an alternative to those Western depictions of African culture such as "I Dreamed of Africa" or "Gollias in the Mist."
