Our take
A magic realist fable from the cacophonous streets of Luanda, Air Conditioner is an iridescently-charged rush of color and style. Walking to its own jazz-inflected beat, this quixotic odyssey weaves a poetic meditation on the legacy of Angola’s colonial past into the fabric of an electric dream.
