this is one of those films where i think it's cool, but i have barely anything to say about it (which would be a problem considering i have to speak about it in seminar), so i'm gonna stretch it out by saying the ultimate flaw has been pointed out by a review i read; why is souleiman the only worker who possessed somebody other than his girlfriend/ wife's body? what is the allegory? what could be more efficient than directly avenging and give ada the money? the other workers in the female bodies are allegorical devices for the multiple non-synchronic temporalities critiquing the violence of capitalism, exploitation and migration, so what does that make ada and souleiman? ada seemed very inspired by the end of the film to who she is, and no one can take that away from her, was that all just ephiphanized in a love outside of conventional temporality beyond life and death that's very much attached to the existence of a dead man?
i did not know mati diop was a nepo baby btw.
