DeWayne B 05/29/2023 A legendary film by Jean Rouch. See more 02/06/2015 Interesting but too long for my tastes. See more 10/07/2008 Rouch's first total experiment in ethno-fiction. It feels a bit long, and at times the improvisational plot seems to be influenced by American Youth pictures, but there's some arresting poetic moments. See more Read all reviews
