| “Great old advertising copy for Susan Hayward's 1947 Smash-Up proclaimed: "Filmed on location – INSIDE A WOMAN'S SOUL!" A similar boast could be made–and with some seriousness–for Ousmane Sembene's Faat-Kine. The comedy-drama set in modern-day Senegal observes special details of an African female's life, but you can see Sembene is simultaneously mapping out the nation-state, tracking psycho-political territory. That "woman's soul" metaphor can be used to describe this micro/macro view of Africans–specifically the 40-year-old Kine, played by Venus Seye. Her participation in postcolonial independence ("Faat" is an honorific similar to "Aunt") is both personal and political.” – New Yorker Films | ||
