Lingui: les liens sacrés (2021)
(Lingui: The Sacred Bonds)
Country: FR/GER/BEL/CHAD
Technical: col 87m
Director: Mahamat-Saleh Haroun
Cast: Achouackh Abakar, Rihane Khalil Alio
Synopsis:
A single mother sees her daughter pulling away from her and learns that she is pregnant. As they confront this crisis together, it has implications for her faith, their family ties and even the law.
Review:
A fiercely moving story of female solidarity within a framework of poverty and religious conformism. Beautifully made, at times with the poise of epic poetry (parataxis in the editing, over-cranking, shallow focus, use of natural surroundings), it is an outstanding product of international cooperation.
