Bamako

D: Abderrahmane Sissako, Mali/France 2006, 118 min, German subtitles

A fictitious court case in a rear courtyard. The IMF and the World Bank are in the dock. Nearby, in Bamako, life goes on: children play among dogs, a beautiful woman sings a love song, a man dies. The film shows, in a manner as brilliant as it is laconic, how the North treats the South.
