Country: Chad
Director: Mahamat Saleh Haroun
Cast: Ali Bacha Barkaïm, Djibril Ibrahim, Aziza Hisseine & Khayar Oumar Defallah.
Atim lives in Chad with his grandfather, a blind old man. The government has granted an amnesty for all war crimes and his father was killed in the war. Atim's grandfather gave him a gun to hunt down his father's killer.
The original name of the movie is 'Daratt' which translates literally as 'dry season'. Revenge is a common theme in many stories, but in 'Dry Season' it felt like a different scenario. The biggest achievement of Daratt is it won the Grand Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. The most compelling part of the movie will be the moment when Atim starts to work in a bakery. Intentionally or unintentionally The director of the movie, Mahamat Saleh Haroun uses color symbolism in the plot and manages to communicate a great deal out of it. Overall, it's a wonderful revenge story with less talk and ends with a hopeful note for the future.
Verdict: Good
