Citizen Kwame

2023 · 81 min

A wry, claustrophobic allegory that plays like a deadpan chamber comedy, quietly tightening its absurd bureaucratic grip until the walls feel personal.

Directed by
Yuhi Amuli
Genres
Comedy, Drama
Overview
Kwame, an African man, wants to travel outside of his compound, but he must first get a visa from a Caucasian gatekeeper who controls movements in-and-out of the house. It is only with the help of a Caucasian girlfriend that he succeeds.
How it feels
Satirical, absurd, cynical and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
