Movie #1581 ........................."Rafiki"
Movie #1581 "Rafiki" is the first Kenyan film to screen at Cannes, and meanwhile banned in its home country. This film is a tenderly realized tale of forbidden teenage love with a super colorful backdrop. Despite their fathers are opponents in the next election (topical and romeo and julietish) , Keena and Ziki experience immediate chemistry when they meet, and their relationship grows until it becomes dangerous to their lives to be together --- and then they must choose. I would give this film 4 out of 5 stars, and I hope it is chosen to be a nominee for an oscar for foreign language film. It is very topical, with a strong theme, story and action.
