O Amor Impossível

Banel & Adama parece ser um projeto pessoal da argumentista e realizadora francesa, de origem senegalesa, Ramata-Toulaye Sy. Esta foi a sua primeira longa metragem, em que, corajosamente, assume desde logo o duplo papel da escrita e direção, depois de ter realizado uma curta metragem, Astel, em 2021, e de ter escrito dois argumentos para terceiros, Sibel em 2018, para televisão, e Notre Dame du Nil, uma adaptação do romance homónimo de Scholastique Mukasonga, feita em parceria com Atiq Rahimi, o realizador do filme, em 2019.

Banel & Adama está longe de ser um filme banal. Refinado no argumento, na cinematografia, nos cenários, mais parece um poema à mulher africana, incapaz de amar e de ser amada, soterrada permanentemente numa luta pela sobrevivência, que a envolve a ela, ao seu companheiro e a todos os membros da comunidade.

Um filme belo, de grande sensibilidade e que, no fundo, parece transmitir uma realidade universal. Quantos de nós não fomos obrigados a colocar a sobrevivência ou a carreira à frente do amor? E quantos não olham nostálgicos para as oportunidades perdidas nesse percurso?

Não é preciso viver no deserto escaldante senegalês para partilhar os anseios e frustrações dos jovens Banel & Adama.

The Impossible Love

Banel & Adama seems to be a personal project by the French screenwriter and director of Senegalese origin, Ramata-Toulaye Sy. This was her first feature film, in which she courageously takes on the dual role of writing and directing, after having directed a short film, Astel, in 2021, and having written two scripts for others, Sibel in 2018, for television, and Notre Dame du Nil, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Scholastique Mukasonga, made in partnership with Atiq Rahimi, the film's director, in 2019.

Banel & Adama is far from being an ordinary film. Refined in its script, cinematography, and settings, it seems more like a poem to the African woman, incapable of loving and being loved, permanently buried in a struggle for survival that involves her, her partner, and all the members of the community.

A beautiful film, with great sensitivity that, deep down, seems to convey a universal reality. How many of us have not been forced to put survival or career before love? And how many do not look back nostalgically at the opportunities lost along the way?

You don't have to live in the scorching Senegalese desert to share the anxieties and frustrations of the young Banel & Adama

"Banel & Adama" Review

I watched "Banel & Adama", a film from Senegal, directed by Ramata-Toulaye Sy. This is an interesting film with excellent cinematography and setting, with slow and carefully crafted shots and lovely piano music accompanying it. However not everything fits together quite right in the story and it's central concept wanders and becomes progressively more unclear as the end arrives. This is not a happy film. From IMDb, "A young couple in Senegal must contend with the disapproval of their remote village." There is a sense of magical realism in the film but even that is somewhat unclear. I enjoyed this film and I believe and hope that it portends more interesting and better films from the writer and director of this film.

Friday Releases for June 7

Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we've decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for June 7 include Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Hit Man, The Exorcism, and more.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the new movie from Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, is out today.

This Summer, the world’s favorite Bad Boys are back with their iconic mix of edge-of-your seat action and outrageous comedy but this time with a twist: Miami’s finest are now on the run.

Hit Man

Hit Man, the new movie from Richard Linklater, is out today.

Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater’s sunlit neo-noir stars Glen Powell as strait-laced professor Gary Johnson, who moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Preternaturally gifted at inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless people hoping to bump off their enemies, Gary descends into morally dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to one of those potential criminals, a beautiful woman named Madison (Adria Arjona). As she falls for one of Gary’s hit man personas — the mysteriously sexy Ron — their steamy affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception, and higher stakes.

The Exorcism

The Exorcism, the new movie from Joshua John Miller, is out today.

Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe stars as Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.

The Watchers

The Watchers, the new movie from Ishana Shyamalan, is out today.

From producer M. Night Shyamalan comes “The Watchers,” written for the screen and directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan and based on the novel by A.M. Shine. The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.

I Used To Be Funny

I Used To Be Funny, the new movie from Ally Pankiw, is out today.

I Used To Be Funny is a dark dramedy that follows Sam Cowell (Rachel Sennott), an aspiring stand-up comedian and au pair struggling with PTSD, as she decides whether or not to join the search for Brooke (Olga Petsa), a missing teenage girl she used to nanny. The story exists between the present, where Sam tries to recover from her trauma and get back on stage, and the past, where memories of Brooke make it harder and harder to ignore the troubled teen’s sudden disappearance.

Banel & Adama

Banel & Adama, the new movie from Ramata-Toulaye Sy, is out today.

Banel and Adama are fiercely in love. The young married couple lives in a remote village in northern Senegal. For them, nothing else exists. But for the rest of their tight-knit village, duty dictates that Adama soon accept the role of chief. The young man and his lovelorn wife have their own plans — until something in the air changes. The rains do not come, the cattle begin to die, the men leave.

Longing

Longing, the new movie from Savi Gabizon, is out today.

Daniel Bloch is shocked to discover a startling secret from his past and is immediately consumed by the extraordinary twists of a new life he never could have imagined. With each new encounter, Daniel uncovers a deeper layer of this fascinating mystery until he arrives at a crossroad in his own life.

Fantasmas

Fantasmas, the new TV series from Julio Torres, is out today.

Writer, director, and comedian Julio Torres spins a fantastical six-part tale of when he lost a gold oyster earring. In his search to find the precious object, Julio reflects on the offbeat characters he encounters in introspective, often eerie, and always comedic vignettes set in a dreamy, alternate version of New York City.

Queenie

Queenie, the new TV series from Candice Carty-Williams, is out today.

Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in south London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. After a messy breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places and begins to realize she has to face the past head-on before she can rebuild.

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, the new TV series from Isaure Pisani-Ferry, Jennifer Have, and Raphaëlle Bacqué, is out today.

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld plunges us into the heart of the 70s, in Paris, Monaco, and Rome, to follow the formidable blossoming of this complex and iconic personality of Parisian couture. Between glamour and clashes of egos, grandiose parties and destructive passions, discover the story of Karl before Lagerfeld.
