"When you owe, you have to pay." Janus Films has revealed a stunning 4K restoration trailer for the classic Senegalese film Mandabi, also known as The Money Order. This originally premiered in 1968 in France, then played at the New York Film Festival in 1969. It was the second feature film made by award-winning Senegalese filmmaker Ousmane Sembène, who passed away in 2007. It has been fully restored and will be getting a "virtual" re-release this month. The film is about a money order from a relative in Paris that throws the life of a Senegalese family man out of order. He deals with corruption, greed, problematic family members, the locals and the changing from his traditional way of living to a more modern one. Described as "a darkly humorous satire of Kafkaesque bureaucracy and corruption." Starring Makhouredia Gueye as Ibrahima Dieng. This looks better than ever. And as always, now it's the best time to catch up with this one. ›››
