Stunning in beauty, radical in style, incisive in experience, there are not enough superlatives to shower on the quintet of films depicting the ingenuity of artisans in Dakar. Agua condenses the day-long task of creating beautiful, delicate botanical marines in glass bowls, from catching the fish, to inserting flowers, into a ten-minute masterclass of economy. Diplomate à la tomate is a magic trick of transformation as soda cans become luggage. These are the works of a master.
