LES SAIGNANTES (THE BLOODETTES)

2005, Cameroon
LES SAIGNANTES

Jean-Pierre Bekolo

In a futuristic country run by corrupt, sex-obsessed high-ranking officials, two vampiric femmes fatales get rid of them using the ancient rituals of Mevoungou. Beautifully shot, mixing sci-fi, action and horror ingredients, this barbed political satire is one of the only African films attempting to depict a near future through the eyes of an author, away from the usual commercial cannons.
