  The simplicity and minimalism of conflict reminds one of Ozu and is probably the calmest film I've seen after Ozu's films. Interestingly Ozu was mediating on subtle conflict in a post-war Japan whereas Kabore was mediating on the same in a pre-colonial Africa. Still both are able to masterfully illustrate that sense of minimalist conflict.

  Flashback within a flashback used in 80s African cinema - superb.

  Would love to see this again-- first came across it in the early 90s, when my sense of cinematic time was being stretched by Rivette, Wenders, etc. I think I missed some of the nuance at the time.

  "Spirits...could make girls into boys. Do you believe that?" "Yes, spirits are powerful."
