Moolaade @ Music Box 12/9/2004



SV, JF&KF, and I caught "Moolaade" at the Music Box afterwork on Thursday. While nominally about female circumcision rituals in west africa, it is really a fairly universal tale about the challenges of transformation and the power dynamics of sex, religion, tradition and the rest. That the film was able to convey a sense that the underlying issues really did have a sense of universality to them is a great compliment to the quality of the filmmaking. The reviews below do a good job of setting up the movie.

I'll add more to this post in the future.
