I don't think I've ever seen an African film, look forward to seeing this
you have been missing out.
Nah they aren't that good lol@RDCFemmes
Check out I am not a witch, highly recommend it
@@GhgffdOMG this was going to be my first recommendation!
Might I suggest you start with Ousmane Sembene…the father of African Cinema (Black Girl is my fave) there are just sooo many gems. I kind of envy your fresh slate…then check out the work of Mati Diop, Alice Diop, Biyi Bandele, Mambety (Touki Bouki) Andrew Dosunmu, Jenn Nkiru, Hale Gerima and more….happy watching!
The joy I feel hearing Bemba in an A 24 film ❤ OMG this is delicious 😋 Zambia is so proud 👏🏾
The soundtrack Come On Home by The Lijadu Sisters... That's old school Nigerian music.
Bro it was on an Apple playlist I heard it months ago and fell in love. I’m hearing this song a lot now!
Oh thank you so much!! I've been trying to find this song since I saw the movie two months ago, you've made my day!!
THE MISSY ELLIOT COSTUME 😭🤌🏽
Someone who also suffered abuse growing up
Craig of the Creeks’s mom did it first 😂
came to say the same thing lol love missy elliot music
@@StephySon 😂😂 i remember that vividly
Can’t believe it took the outside shot for me to recognize what the mask resembled. 🤦♀️ Initially I was recalling Phantom of the Paradise..🙄
zambia to the world!!🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
a win not only for zambia, but for the entire continent!
A24 🤝 NEON
Wdym?
The best studios working today (plus Focus Features.)
As a zambiam I'm amazed at just how under the radar this is
A definite must see
Is that my tongue, I hear?????
Bemba? And Nyanja? Oh, this will be something
Bemba
watched the screener and can highly recommend!
Yay! 🥹
I can't believe A24 didn't do enough to promote this powerful and sobering film. I was lucky enough to see it in a theater during the one week it was playing in my city, and I absolutely recommend it.
what is it actually about, the trailer doesn’t say anything…
@@Valentin-oc5nh It's about a Zambian woman who's forced by her family to take part in the lengthy funeral rituals for her uncle, who sexually assaulted her and her cousins when they were little.
A24 produced an African movie? What a year! Can't wait to see this... Well done, guys! ❤
Omg that fountain scene with the neon lights is the university of Zambia library 😭 1:32 omg.
I was thinking Neon was taking A24's spot this year. But with The Brutalist, Babygirl, and now this, it feels like Neon got some stiff competition 💪🏿 stoked to see this
Neon takes a lot of big swings but they don't hit for me like A24
@@taya12020I like neon but A24 are in a category but themselves especially with the horror genre
Anora >
Plus Queer, it was majestic. And the upcoming A24 films are already giving, Materialist ( from Past Lives Writer/Director) and Mother Mary (Green Knight)
pulled over my entire car to watch this
Ahem! Is this a dark comedy genre? Googled Guinea Fowls and two things I didn't know was they're endemic to Africa *and* they can be kept as "guards" as they're very vocal...so, witchcraft was mentioned, very interesting premise!
Also very tasty birds, leaner alternative to chicken
hey A24 -- the subtitles aren't quite right -- it should be "...Let me tell you about these wonderful ODD little creatures.."
When I was watching I am not a witch I also complained about the way the subtitles were not truly capturing nuance
Translation is hard.
Compelling..a must watch. Love the use of the Zambian dialect! Can't wait to see this!
Heretic and Queer are majestic, then there's The Brutalist and Babygirl. A24 is saving the year. the upcoming A24 films are already giving, Materialist ( from Past Lives Writer/Director) and Mother Mary (Green Knight)
This film is hands down BRILLIANT.
Saw this at MAMI last month, wasn't expecting it to hit me so hard.
Everyone needs to watch this! Nyoni delivered an unflinching knockout
Guinea Galaxy chickens!!! Very interesting symbol/title. This looks prettty captivating
As an African, I can't wait for this ❤
lol 0:51 its giving I Saw the TV Glow
I thought the same thing!
Yes!
0:04 missy elliot 🔥 I’m tryn to remember who shot that video 😅
Missy had to use compressed air from the gas station for that suit but couldn’t fit back in the car so she had to walk around Manhattan dressed like that 😂
I grew up with guineas and this looks incredible.
chills
Wow, yep, sold.
THIS FILM WAS FANTASTIC
Rungano nyoni ❤
Just shot up high in my most anticipated list!
Ba Zambia we have finally kuChalo' d 😭 A24
An A24 film set in Zambia, sign me up
Highly recommended ✨
This looks incredible 🇿🇲 to the mf world!
To those who are hyped by the Missy Elliot costume, please know that there is much more to the film. In its concerns and intent, and acting, this is a masterpiece of cinematic experience that will have you reeling from its impact.
A24 is so dope for this
Missy Elliot costume and Lijadu sisters had me sat
Pa malilo fye awe kukosa… this looks interesting
Zambia ku chalo 🇿🇲
this looks really good.
Absolutely stunning film!
Had me at the Missy Costume
Yes!!! Ok A24! I wanna see more movies from the motherland!
This looks really, really, really, really messed up.
I'm in. 👍🏿
I heard this was supposed to come out in December but has been pushed all the way back to MARCH of next year 🙁
Film was 🔥
Great watch!
RUNGANO MEANS STORY so she was destined for this
Ah ah ah 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

This trailer does NOT do it justice! I caught a screener and they do a great job of hiding the tone and vibe of the actual movie
THIS!!!! 🙌🏾🤩
Hope it goes big
A24 + Neon = 🤤
My parents have Guinea fowls
I wonder what this movie is about
CSA
Not guinea fowls, I can tell you that.
This looks like a great film! Any news on it streaming in the US?
I'm sooooo looking forward to this
super excited because Guinea fowls are my families totem and i have a similar surname to the dead guy in the film. spooky
this is an insane trailer. Im hyped asf
Where can I watch this?

Can’t wait
"Amazing work! Your video quality and storytelling are outstanding. Really inspiring content!"

Best film of the year!
A24 has good a choice if it keeps this up its gone positive

Tf is that bemba I just heard 😂
Ooh yeah, finally some movie make a BBC Film, that was my moment

Bantams in pine woods
Everything's better with Missy Elliot.
Lijadu Sisters szn

A24 fallin off big time. NEON been holding it down as of late.
Woke propaganda again ?
I’m not sure why this is a movie or who it’s for.
It's for me
What even was the point of making this comment...
@ What was even the point of you replying to my comment… see how that works, bucko? Wait.. are you legit getting a little heated because of race? You’re going after my comment.. and I have a sneaking suspicion you may be circling the wagons to defend this movie (before even seeing it) because you happen to simply want to defend it due to some odd race angle.. because why else would you reply to me? Why else would you defend a movie you, yourself have yet to see? It’s just so odd..
@@jeremiahcherry5283 no one brought up race but you? It's clearly something that's important to you Why are you so focused on race ?😂
First
3rd!!!
