Paria sans portefeuille"It turns out, however, that I was wrong about Monk being treated with respect. Outtakes from the taping show Renaud disputing and ultimately silencing his guest. We know this now thanks to the French-Senegalese filmmaker #AlainGomis, who obtained the excised footage and turned it into the new 2022 #documentary, #RewindAndPlay."

Dustin Kiyeon ChangFélicité is a melding of many conflicting elements. There are documentary-like naturalism, mixed in with recurring beautiful dream sequence in the woods in near darkness. There is local music (featuring the Kasai Allstars) rubbing shoulders with Kinshasa Symphonic Orchestra playing classical pieces by Arvo Pärt. Félicité's strong willed, modern woman meets Tabu's womanizer and drunkard, accept each other and continue their amicable relationship. It's the music that is at the heart of the film. Sang by earthy, smoky voiced Muambuyi, the lead singer of the Kasai Allstars, Mputu's Félicité comes to life whenever she's on stage. The "Congotronics" is an infectious, eclectic music that represents many different ethnic groups that consist the region. Arvo Pärt's somber music fills in for somber moments but it fits surprisingly well in the film. There is much humanism and culture and joy to be had in Félicité and I am grateful for it. #AlainGomis #Félicité #congo #music #kasaiallstars
