Grigris
Grigris is a brilliant dancer despite a leg disability. He earns spare cash dancing in a bar in N’djamena in chad. He also works in his fatherin- law’s photography studio but is discontented with his lot. He has fallen in love with Mimi and needs money to help pay for his ailing father-in-law’s medical bills. With GRIGRIS Mahamat saleh-Haroun revisits the theme of fatherson bonding which was such an important part of his earlier movies. But now he progresses away from this template — in the same meandering way that characterises his storytelling — to a closer identification with women. It is a typically calm, lucid drama, presented in the director’s unforced, cinematic vernacular and attractively and sympathetically acted. (Peter Bradshaw)
