Les Saignantes (The Bloodiest)

D: Jean-Pierre Bekolo, 93 min, German subtitles

Cameroon/France 2005

Discussion with the director

They bleed and they make people bleed: two women – young, attractive and lethal – set out to liberate a futuristic country from corrupt men obsessed with sex and power. They celebrate the Mevungu – one of the Beti people’s rituals which is reserved for secret societies of women and is only solemnized in times of crisis, which the director believes have arrived now… A spectacular science-fiction political thriller that won the silver Etalon de Yennengar at the central African FESPACO festival in 2007.
