Masterfully blending enchanting magic realism with piercing sociological insights, Philippe Lacôte's fleetly paced drama charts the unusual circumstances that set the seemingly directionless Run (Abdoul Karim Konate) on the path to becoming an assassin. The rich folklore and fractious politics of the Ivory Coast factor heavily in this picaresque fable that surprises at every turn. Lacôte is rightfully hailed as one of the most exciting new talents in African cinema.
