Daughters of the dust

One of the things that I appreciated the most about this movie is the richness and power of the colors. Stories of different women overlap, creating a common story, the story of a community. The tension between what is old and what is new, modernity and tradition, leaving or staying, accompanied the entire movie. It is an astonishing and vivid portrait full of memories of a community. The women have a central and powerful role.
The non-linearity of the movie evokes the melody of poetry and of pure art. During the movie, I let myself forgetting about the ‘story’ and I just enjoyed the beauty of some of the shots.
