Saloum (2021)
Tumblr media
There’s something exhilarating about when a movie grabs the viewer by the scruff of the neck and shouts, “Come along fucker, I know exactly what I’m doing.” The opening minute or so of Saloum, shifting from hallucinatory imagery of a boy wading out into the river with sun and moon arrayed overhead to a kinetic and immaculately choreographed handheld tracking shot of the Hyenas of Bangui retrieving a drug lord from Bissau shows in miniature the genre swath the film will explore. Much of the first half of the film adopts the energy of a sharp, stylish crime thriller with precise and breathless camera work accompanied by splashy graphics in an experience akin to what you might get in a Quentin Tarantino or Guy Ritchie actioner. Nodding to but never leaning heavily on the tropes of the genre, Saloum traps its protagonists, already caught back on their heels and in the middle of nowhere, in a web of tension: the camp they find themselves at harbors many threats to their survival. A sequence of conversations builds a house of cards on a knife’s edge, any false move threatening to expose the Hyenas.
While it flits at the periphery in the form of nightmare sequences early on, the Hyenas’ arrival at a strange commune in remote Saloum isn’t actually wholly a coincidence. Ringleader Chaka reveals he has a dark past as a child soldier held captive by the man now running the camp. It’s here when the film transitions rather abruptly to a horror film: spirits are present everywhere here due to the cycle of violence and anguish in the space, of which Chaka’s child slavery/soldierdom is simply the latest iteration. The entities that plague the survivors are a little silly, resembling a swarm of bees or dense cluster of ash with horns, killed all too easily except for when necessary, and the exposition dump explaining it all is a touch rapid. But it’s almost impossible for these missteps to overshadow the raw charisma of the opening half. Let the spiritualism that has been hinted at in the flashbacks and in fellow Hyena Minuit’s shamanic advisory come roaring to the fore. A mere Western isn’t enough to contain this cycle of suffering, it has to be rendered even more operatic and exorcised.

Saloum (2021)
Directed by Jean Luc Herbulot
Cast: Yann Gael, Evelyne Ily Juhen, Roger Sallah, Mentor Ba, Bruno Henry
Plot:
Shot down after fleeing a coup and extracting a drug lord from Guinea-Bissau, the legendary mercenaries known as the Bangui Hyenas must stash their stolen gold bounty, lay low long enough to repair and refuel their plane and escape back to Dakar, Senegal. When they take refuge at a holiday camp in the coastal region of Sine-Saloum, they do their best to blend in with their fellow guests; but one Hyena is hiding a dark secret. He has brought them there for a reason and once his past catches up to him, his decisions have devastating consequences, threatening to unleash hell on them all.

Saloum
Saloum is a fun little movie, excellent crime thriller tension. I really like the intro setting cards:

After that the film follows our mercenaries on the run as they're forced to land off-course, their plane sabotaged somehow. And the film goes from 0 to 60 real fast. As an example, not exhaustive, of what "the most suspicious dinner party on earth" looks like, here's their weird host Omar introducing a friend:

But this is a film from Shudder, and without spoiling anything, halfway through you get a shift to the kind of movie where people say things like this:

Honestly the first half is so good I want to see an entire movie of just that, the second half is good too! It just doesn't have the all gas no breaks tension fun of being a 90 minute thriller in 45.

Summer 2023 - Week 6 in Review
Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I write to you from the midst of a furious thunderstorm, which I’m hoping will at some point calm down enough for me to get on with some apartment hunting. But whether I am swept away by the torrential rains of August or not, I will at least have left you all with another collection of ramshackle film reviews. This week our cinematic…

The Shota Spectrum
By yours truly (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The idea was to start from the most "basic" shota, move onto the super shotas and then slowly reaching the ones that are either shota by technicalities, barely qualify as one or straight up aren't but get mixed up easily!
I'm sorry this is messy (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠) pointing out the major groups was easy, finding a good enough example was the tricky part! Anyway, hope you'll like it and here's a written version of all the categories!
The Shota Next Door: just your natural looking and most regular shota of them all
The B.A.E. Shota: Big. Ass. Eyes. But overall "normal" looking
The "Tomboy" Shota: characterised by being into sports/an outdoor and more "boyish" type
The Magical '70s: characters that are definitely in the age and height range to be a shota but are more like tiny femboys like those drawn in the 70s by mangakas
The Quintessential Shota: they're short, petite, with eyes as huge as a tea plate and their level of Moe could melt an iceberg
The CandyPop Shota: if cotton candy was a shota. Very feminine and kawaii tinted in pastel with a sweet and/or hyper personality
The Hime Shota: a refined, well dressed and composed shota leaning into the feminine appearance wise
The Ouji Shota: a refined, well dressed and composed shota
The Ghoul Shota: opposite to the CandyPop Shota, they flaunt a more alternative style dressing in darker colours while being a little off putting
The Cub Shota: any sort of furry shota
The Critter Shota: any creature like a Pokémon, a Digimon or some other monster with features that visually remind you of a shota
The Silver Lining Shota: a bit too tall to be a shota but the everything about the design reads like a shota
The "Well yeah, technically, but-" Shota: They're short Alright but they don't read like a shota, they're more a regular short pre/teen
That's Not a Shota, It's Just a Femboy!: too tall and lacking the softness of a shota. Easy to shota-ify tho (⁠���⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
