Review of Omen

Omen (2023)
9/10
Mindblowing photograpy
27 November 2023
I was unprepared to see the film, but I love Africa in its actual art expressions. With some white and black friends we had the occasion to see the film and discuss it with Baloji himself. It impressed most of us. Our black friends recognised a lot of things that happened in their lives or in others' lives. Our white friends realized that there are other dimensions than the pure rational dimension. I Africa you had to accept that there will be always some mystic dimensions, unexplicable in western terms. Even every part was not immediately understood as part of the story, Baloyi tells us about African live that is at the crossways of past and present, tradition and modernity, dream and reality. So the film need a second vision. But we all were blasted by the beautiful photograpy. We all hope to see the next film of Baloji!
