Mami Wata (12A)
★★★★✭ An arresting piece of work, this visually beautiful and charismatically acted film is a fierce expressionist reverie or Nigerian parable of power, shot in a lustrous, high-contrast black-and-white. ~ The Guardian.
This genre-bending tale brings to life a futuristic fable that fuses spiritual beliefs with inter-generational tensions.
Set in the matriarchal ocean village of Iyi, where West African water deity, Mami Wata, reigns via village leader Mama Efe, the film brings to the screen a story of mythology, fantasy, and folklore. When the harmony of the village is threatened, two sisters must fight to restore order, as traditions of the past crash with calls from the future.
This is the third feature from director C.J. ‘Fiery’ Obasi, who represents a new wave of Nigerian filmmakers. The film is vividly shot in black-and-white and accompanied by an incredible oceanic soundscape and hypnotic score to frame its fantasy-fable.
