SHOWING AT 1 P.M.Faat Kine by Sembene Ousmane (2000) The film provides a critical look at contemporary Senegal through the life of a successful, middle class single mother. Having accomplished so much, we might think that Faat Kine would be held in esteem by her family and community. But apparently, the lack of a husband and being a woman who works at a gas station is reason enough for folks to sneereven her own children. She presses on, both bemused and hurt by the perceptions of others. - |
