I've been looking for a tape of this; I saw it so long ago and under such groggy conditions that I forget a lot of it. I do remember that the story was fast-paced and involving, and as the only Senegalese picture I've seen so far, refreshingly different. I especially want to see Ndeye Fatou Ndaw again; she's haunting in the movie as Daam's martyred first wife, Gagnesiri. What a film career she ought to have. I particularly love/hate the painful scene where she's ostracized by a group of village women.
