Taafé Fanga [imdb] [viff] Dir: Adama Drabo Country: Mali

How to make a neo-feminist movie:

1. Portray a situation where the men are evil and the women oppressed.
2. Plot device to switch roles (in this case, a mask)
3. Now that men are women and women are men, have one or two sympathetic to the other side.
4. Women realise that they're no better than the men they dethroned.
5. Return to wiser, more enlightened status quo.

Add to this relatively bland mixture lots of lovely shots of African village life and some darned nifty music, and you have this movie. I wish I could say more about it, but there really isn't that much more to say.
