SALOUM (TIFF 21) – Review by Maitland McDonagh

September 16, 2021September 17, 2021 Maitland McDonagh Congolese films, Jean Luc Herbulot, Pamela Diop, Saloum, TIFF, toronto international festival

The genre-warping Saloum starts out as an action-heavy thriller and glides seamlessly into a supernatural horror tale with intense psychological underpinnings. Congolese filmmakers Jean Luc Herbulot Herbulot and Pamela Diop draw on both real-life horrors and fairytale darkness, and combined with intense performances across the board the result is genuinely disturbing. Suffice it to say that the film’s most disturbing images have nothing to do with bogeymen.
