Our take
In this blazingly feminist masterwork of Afrofuturism, Cameroonian iconoclast Jean-Pierre Bekolo places fearless sex workers at the vanguard of a revolution. Coating its social commentary in stylish genre thrills, The Bloodiest unmasks corrupt politicians as the real vampires hiding in plain sight.
