Abderrahmane Sissako wrote and directed this offbeat, satiric comedy which imagines how the powers that be in the West might be forced to answer for the damage they've done in the Third World. Mele (Aissa Maiga) is an attractive Malian lounge singer married to Chaka (Tiecoura Traore), though their relationship is on the verge of collapse. In their eyes, the African continent isn't in much better shape than their marriage, and one day a makeshift courtroom appears in the courtyard near their shabby home. In the courtyard, a handful of powerful international organizations, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, are put on trial for their crippling effect on the African economy; as the evidence is presented which explains how these "friends" of Africa have saddled the nations with debts they can never repay, witnesses explain how these actions impact the daily lives of ordinary citizens, who pass through the trial as they go on with their days. Executive producer Danny Glover makes a cameo appearance in a "Cowboys and Indians" sequence which supposedly takes place in Timbuktu. Bamako (aka The Court) received its North American premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Bamako
New Review For Movie Bamako
Unlike other recent films about the plight of Africa, Bamako channels its outrage more directly, yet with greater subtlety, by recruiting real-life witnesses to Africa's economic crises.Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times
If Jean-Luc Godard had kept his sense of humor, he might be making engaging movies like Bamako.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
[An] intimate, urgent and wildly imaginative indictment of post-colonial economic policies in Africa.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
Trial movies can be painful, but Bamako is a powerful polemic leavened with moments of beauty and humor.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
Bamako is an attack on globalization that is endlessly cogent, confrontational -- and, best of all, as captivating as it is illuminating.
Kevin Thomas-Los Angeles Times
A strange and often haunting little film.
John Monaghan-Detroit Free Press
Bamako Puts Globalization on Trial
Rob Nelson-City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Bamako is an amazing polemical political film like no other.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Issue-driven drama has rarely been so polemic as it is in this fierce attack on the World Bank and International Monetary Fund's role in African poverty.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film
Sissako's bolt of lightning is how he once again merges spaces: he sets the trial out-of-doors... editing the village's daily events as if they are all a part of the trial's fabric.
Robert Davis-Paste Magazine
A clumsy, talk-heavy and crushingly heavy-handed hybrid. While it may have the best of intentions, Bamako is sometimes hard to watch.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City
Free of the indignant self-righteousness of Michael Moore's lowbrow sloganeering, Abderrahmane Sissako's poetic drama offers a clear-sighted examination of Third World economic collapse.
Bill White-Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Bamako is a film that grows on you. Its power is subtle and you don't really feel the impact until it's all over. And when it has, its left with you something unshakeably real.
Moira Sullivan-Movie Magazine International
Dramatic features born and bred on the African continent are rare commodities on these shores, and the opportunities they offer can stretch far beyond film appreciation and into the realm of world understanding.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
Bamako is challenging without a doubt, but Sissako's righteous anger never loses its ability to connect to the heart, even in the film's densest thickets of symbolism.
Glenn Whipp-Los Angeles Daily News
Overall, Bamako is a passionate plea, filled with interesting ideas and wrapped up in an uneven presentation.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
Awkward, dull film.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
This sophisticated picture about a desperate situation expresses its optimism through its style and its respect for the people who appear in it.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
