TEY (AUJOURD’HUI)
Dir: Alain Gomis. Starring: Saul Williams, Djolof Mbengue, Aïssa Maïga. 2011. 86 mins. France/Senegal. French with English subtitles.
TEY is a poetic, existential journey in which French-Senegalese director Alain Gomis explores the streets of an unnamed Senegalese city through the eyes of a young man, Satché, who is doomed to death. Hip hop artist and spoken word poet Saul Williams is a revelation as lead character, bringing each frame to life with a quiet intensity. A magical yet realist twist on the immigrant returning home, this sad and vivid meditation is all at once vibrant, cool and life-affirming.
