Synopsis
Djibril Diop Mambty, a towering figure in world cinema, is best known for his two features, Touki Bouki (1973) and Hyenas (1992, re-released in a new restoration by Metrograph Pictures in 2019). Yet these two extraordinary films tell only part of the story of the directors enormous accomplishments in his too-brief life. The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun (1999) and Le Franc (1994) are masterpieces of the medium-length form, completed by Mambty in his final years. They provide us a fuller picture of the elements that define his small, but perfect, filmographya rich social vision, sly humor, and formal ingenuity. Mambty initially meant for these films to lead off a trilogy to be titled Tales of Ordinary People, but sadly lived only to complete Le Franc and The Little Girl Who Sold The Sun.Both films were restored in 2K by Waka Films in 2019 with the support of the Institut franais Cinmathque Afrique and the CNC at clair Laboratories from the original negative.
