When his nephew in Paris sends him a money order for 25,000 Francs, Ibrahim’s life is thrown into disarray: his creditors come calling, his wives make demands, and his neighbors suddenly need loans. But before he can access the money, he’ll need to navigate an endless bureaucracy that requires him to speak French, to get an identity card, to get a birth certificate, to take current photographs, and on and on. The first feature film made in the Wolof language, Ousmane Sembene’s pointed critique of neo-colonialism looks ravishing after a recent restoration guided by Martin Scorsese. “A magnificent parable” – Sight and Sound
