Reviews

“Each negative is for him a path to infinite possibilities.”
Christian Caujoll

“José Ramо́n Bas devotes the first shot of his film to the agitation of the adult world and makes it almost foreign to us. It is to better unfold subsequently, in counterpoint, on the walls of Douala, a free and impertinent childish imagination, made of monsters, games and animals, and which occupies more and more space.
Ziguy Leoni, Europe by Europe
