...[HYENAS] carries a sting...
New York Times
A wicked skewering of both the rich and those who seek their handouts.

The greatest film made by a black African is Djibril Diop Mambéty's Hyenas.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Rating: 4/4 --
Djibril Diop Mambéty's 1992 film resonates primarily for its lacerating comedic writing and pacing.

Product Description:
A tiny Senegalese village is eroded by rampant materialism after a woman exiled for adultery returns home thirty years later, willing to exchange the fortune she amassed for the life of her accuser. Tempted by newfangled Western conveniences, the villagers assent, with pointedly comic results. Adapted from Friedrich Durrenmatt's stage play "The Visit."
