𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮
𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮 is one of the few films from the African continent in Sight & Sound’s Greatest Films of All Time poll. The captivating, neo-realist classic is set in the weeks preceding the guerrilla war for independence. Domingos, a member of the independence movement, is arrested, brutalised and sent to Luanda’s notorious prison by the Portuguese authorities. Unaware of his fate, Maria and her child search for him from village to village through a syrupy web of colonial bureaucracy.
4K restoration by The FilmFoundation’s World Cinema Project and Cineteca di Bologna at L’Image Retrouvée in association with Éditions René Chateau and Sarah Maldoror's family.
