Rather more yellowness, actually, than brightness, at least on the visual level. The narrative is even dimmer, a father-son conflict involving magic poison, a magic post, a magic necklace, a magic prism, a magic bone, a magic this, a magic that. The magic all works, but it doesn't "play." Directed by Souleymane Cissé, the movie comes from Mali, which makes it a First of a sort, and a Best of a sort. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
