Ah, Madagascar!

Films this year:

76.César Paes, Angano, angano (1989)

A masterpiece of ethnographic documentary. "Angano" means folk-tale in Malgache. The film follows nicely the lives of people on the island of Madagascar and how traditional storytelling lives on to teach people a cosmology and the way to deal with their reality.

Astonishingly beautiful sceneries appear unexpectedly. Highly recommended.
