This stunning Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nominee unfolds in jihadist-occupied Timbuktu where music, cigarettes and soccer have been banned. Women become shadows but resist with dignity. Every day, the new improvised courts issue tragic, absurd sentences. And yet, director Abderrahmane Sissako (Bamako) wanted to show the human side of the radicals and the defiant people they harshly ruled. He says, “The film insists on one essential point: that violence will never be able to kill love.”
