Library of African cinema. Faat kine

Description

Faat Kine joins a number of recent African films which use abusive, patriarchal relationships to symbolize the more general despoiling of Africa by a corrupt and ineffective (male) elite. Sembene may have first suggested this equation when the disgusted wife at the end of Borom Sarret leaves to earn the dinner money, probably by prostitution. By the time of Xala, El Hadji clearly represents a neo-colonialism scorned by his wives and daughter. In Moussa Sene Absa's Tableau Ferraille Gagnesiri, the faithful, traditional wife sails away from Damm, her vacillating politician husband, representing grassroots Africa finally abandoning its often self-interested leaders to set is own course; one can even imagine her becoming the self-reliant businesswoman, Faat Kine.
