Perhaps the most charming, fast-paced, and accessible film in the collection, this bittersweet coming-of-age story set in a Senegalese fishing village in the sixties may remind viewers of George Lucas's American Graffiti or Spike Lee's Crooklyn-or even Beach Blanket Bingo. Two rival teenage cliques, one patterning itself after French pop stars, the other after American R&B greats, try to live out their dreams against a backdrop of disillusioned adults. Of course, this teenage reverie ends one ill-fated night and, as we know they must, the friends drift apart into mundane adulthood. But not before they bring the whole village together in a wonderfully postmodern dance party where Chubby Checker's "Let's Twist Again" sung by a French crooner wafts across a Senegalese beach, proving that dreams can come from anywhere but are preserved only in memory.
