Atlantics
March 12, 2020 7:00pm
Directed by Mati Diop | 2019
With Mame Bineta Sane, Amadou Mbow, Ibrahima Traoré
The revelatory feature debut from French-Senegalese actor-director Mati Diop channels raw class fury into a rich, tantalizing ghost-story-cum-romance-cum-protest-howl. After several men from a Senegalese suburb disappear at sea while fleeing in search of economic opportunity, the town’s women undergo a startling collective transformation. Awash in mesmerizing, otherworldly images, Atlantics blends the supernatural and the political into a singular, haunting reflection on power, capitalist exploitation, and social inequity that heralds the arrival of a major new talent.
