Flying in the face of the quiet eternal African dramas
that find favour in the West, Bekolo's debut feature
is a wild ride through the vanities and sex games of
one corner of Yaounde. A cocky young woman nicknamed
Queen of the Hood gets the neighborhood sorceress to
turn her into a man so she can satisfy her curiosity
about the other side. Cockier than ever, she moves
among the quarter's players, wise women and pompous
old men, getting an in-skin lesson in gender. The
story mixes magic and satire. the characters feel
tradition through a filter of Nike and Denzel
Washington. The style is marked by colour, jump cuts
and tons of music. For its groundbreaking style and
liberating content, this is one of Africa's most
important films.
