NIGHT OF THE KINGS
IVORY COAST
“Night of the Kings is a riveting and radiant tribute to the power of storytelling, which gives voice to voiceless, humanity to the demonized, and hope to the hopeless.”
– Kristy Puchko, Pajiba
A young man is sent to “La Maca,” a prison in the middle of the Ivorian forest ruled by its inmates. As tradition goes with the rising of the red moon, he is designated by the Boss to be the new “Roman” and must tell a story to the other prisoners. Learning what fate awaits him, he begins to narrate the mystical life of the legendary outlaw named “Zama King” and has no choice but to make his story last until dawn. In French with English subtitles. Rated R for some violent material, language, and nudity. Director: Philippe Lacôte (Ivory Coast 2021) 93 min.
