Description

Like Scheherazade in the Arabian Nights, pick-pocket Roman (French for ?novel?) must spin tales as a new arrival in a hot and sweaty Ivory Coast jungle prison that is all but run by the inmates. And, as with Scheherazade, Roman?s life will be forfeited if his stories don?t measure up. This powerfully inventive Oscar-nominated film from French director Philippe Lacôte must work just as compellingly as Roman himself to keep us entertained. But Roman?s is far from being a one-man show as other prisoners ? dancers, singers, and martial artists ? step up to parade their own talents. Lacôte constantly challenges prison-movie stereotypes in this highly original work. (S)
