Movie Reviews of Xala
Movie Review: Typically African
Summary: 3 Stars
Xala is a poorly made, amatureish film, but it accurately depicts West African big city life in the late 1960s and 1970s and reflects the themes common in African literature of the period. Because it was shot on location, on a documentary level the background setting is an accurate physical view of West African cities and city life at the time--which is why I rate it a 3 instead of a 2. Not a major advancement in filmmaking, but deserving of some recognition for directorial effort.
