NIGHT OF THE KINGS/LA NUIT DES ROIS (Philippe Lacôte 2020)

A Prophet meets Sheherezade by way of City of God. An exuberant French language amalgam of elements focused on a young storyteller talking to save his life in the most crowded prison in Ivory Coast while the prison leader is losing his grip and both may not be around when the night of the red moon is over. Already many good English language reviews: Metascore 82%. Africa!
