Death of the Serpent God

87 minutes
French; Sénégalais
After a street fight that went wrong, 20-year-old Koumba is deported to Senegal. She had arrived in France when she was two years old and never thought to ask for French nationality on coming of legal age. In forty-eight hours, the young restless Parisian teenager becomes a Senegalese villager lost in the bush, far from her family and Paris life. The story of a five-year exile: a news item becomes a tragic saga. “Koumba’s agitation strips the miseen-scène bare. The question as to whether or not a director subtly changes the reality he is filming explodes into a colorful pandemonium. From the beginning, she pulls me into the film with her, into the other side of the world.” (D. Froideveaux)
