4/25-4/27/25- Sarraounia, Med Hondo, 1986, 122min.
Director Med Hondo unflinchingly depicts the horrors ofcolonial occupation and conflict with a realistic, epic style, to adaptAbdoulaye Mamani’s Sarraounia, a historical novel about the West African Battleof Lougou. With an incisive eye toward the psychology of warfare, Hondo chartsthe brutal arrogance of French commanders Captain Paul Voulet and LieutenantJulien Chanoine, as well as the fierce determination of Sarraounia, the titularAzna queen, a revered leader who inspires her people to fight the French armywhen most of the surrounding tribes have made deals with the invaders or joinedtheir forces. Ready to meet her adversaries on the battlefield to defend hertribe and its way of life, native oral history claims she was a witch who couldhurl fire at the invaders and any crops that were blazed to ash regrewovernight with more than enough food to keep the warriors going. Rarelyscreened today, Sarraounia remains one of the greatest experiments inhistorical-surrealism to come from Africa.
