"Black Africa has been exploited mercilessly to relinquish its secrets to the whims of the big screen. Today's African film festivals and directors have cast aside the clichés to give it a new identity. Patrick Grandperret tackles this with the sensibility of a white man in love with Africa and so makes it even more familiar to us. (...) He returns Africa to its open spaces, its contradictions, its mysteries, leaving the audience to discover its differences like a child. The sobriety of Jacques Dutronc is in tune with Patrick Grandperret's modesty : both men let Africa come to the fore."
