DVD of the Week: Quartier Mozart



For those of you who didn't know it yet, the blog's name finds its origin in Jean-Pierre Bekolo's first film, Quartier Mozart.

I'm not pushing it too far when I say that this is the most internationally acclaimed Cameroonian film to date, with a participation at the Cannes festival as well as Locarno and Montreal. At the same time, this is a small admission of failure for Cameroonian cinema when you consider that the movie was shot back in 1992 and so far its success hasn't been matched by anything else.

The story follows the adventures of a young girl whose excessive curiosity led the witch of the neighborhood (yes, because there are witches everywhere in Africa...) to change her into a man.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any clips with subtitles, so only the most courageous of you will give it a shot and try to understand what is going on.
