The call of "criminal sentence", a film by Prince Dubois Onana which was screened on 8 January Ngaoundere, at the opening of the Joint International Film Festival.
The film begins as a 86 minutes documentary. To set the scene, Prince Onana Dubois, the director, tells the parallel justice that Cameroonians have adopted to facing increasing banditry, while questioning its purpose. Fiction can begin, worn by Alain Bomo Bomo honorably in the role of Snake and Toni Bath playing Sat
"criminal sentence", screened Saturday, January 8, in ouvertrure International Film Festival Joint Ngaoundere, tells the story of a young daughter, Sam, Isamël engaged to a footballer in the making. She rejects the advances of Snake, the leader of a gang spreads terror in the neighborhood. Furious, it rises suddenly to accuse Ismail of theft and lynched by the population. Sam decides to take revenge and kills Snake and his band in a scenario worthy of a Hollywood movie. But that's it. The scene that met the public outraged by the murder of football player, was only a dream by Sam The police finally get their hands on the criminals. But Snake will be released at the request of his uncle minister.
The film is full of surprises. Some scenes are poignant, like the killing of Ismael. After beating him to death, people have unleashed tires stacked on it they doused with petrol before setting it on fire. The makeup was able to give an image of burned skin, with whole chunks of flesh red falling to pieces. Horrible. Hugging. Scary. Music Denguemo Corry, a long cry of lamentation, adds to these feelings.
The film, shot in French and subtitled in English, is strikingly realistic, and realism is played on the details. As framed portrait of Paul Biya, President of the Republic, placed prominently in the commissioner's office. As the torture to which the police use to extract confessions from criminals.
"criminal sentence" could end with the vengeance of Sam But the director wanted to thwart the viewer to add to the suspense. Consequently, the film lost in clarity, because the main message is retouve diluted in a slew of other themes such as influence peddling. Finally, we retain the people who believed to protect themselves from theft, victim, has become the executioner. The film was shot between 2005 and 2006, when the government decided to fight against the mob, with mixed results.
"criminal sentence" is out on DVD and is priced at 5000Fcfa.
