TIMBUKTU

This pertinent film is a heartfelt lament for the traditions of Sissako’s homeland being destroyed by jihadism, and examines the hypocrisy and absurdity of the perpetrators, poking sly fun at them. Fictional scenes examine the lives of Malians disrupted by these zealots as they stamp on harmless pleasures such as music and football. Sissako exposes their own unhappiness and self-hatred with wry humour.
