Yaaba
Yaaba
With English sub-titles.
Yaaba is probably the best film ever made by an African director. It's one of those rare films that's a great audience film as well as a great work of art, yet bizarrely comes from one of Africa's poorest and least known nations, Burkina Fasso.
Yaaba is a beautifully told story about the friendship between a boy and girl and an elderly outcast they befriend (the word "Yaaba" means "granny"). It's never cloying or sentimental and there is plenty of wry humor throughout.
First-time director Idrissa Ouedraogo's step never falters - every scene is beautifully crafted. His graceful, effortless style achieves a quiet, poetic quality that is very satisfying.
