- Description
- 3 film reels (123 min.) : sd. col.; 16 mm.
- Summary
- The protagonist of Sembene's satire is a "half-westernized" black businessman suddenly struck down by "xala," a curse rendering him impotent. As he desperately seeks out witch-doctors and soothsayers for a cure, El Hadji's impotence becomes an allegory for African society and its dependence on white technology and bureaucratic structures. Upon its release, Sembene's film was heavily censored by the Senegalese government. (Circulates)
