Bamako, a French film, has good intentions, moving reality, however the film delves into too much verbose to be very effective.
A story of a small locality in the city of Bamako, where Africans struggle to live their daily lives in poverty, where a courtyard within the small village has been turned into an open-court. Two parallel lives go along with the people's lives and the court in action, where the value of IMB and intentions of 'capitalist' nations are questioned.
It's a touching tale showing the reality of the times - do people, who live hand-to-mouth really care about the world affairs, when all they want are basic amenities - it has touching moments including humorous onesbut drags with its depiction.
