The Wagoner
1963 · Movie · 19 min · ★ 6.9
Drama
A witty yet forlorn portrait of a down-on-his-luck wagoner, Ousmane Sembène’s imaginative short starkly observes the economic disparity that haunts a newly independent Senegal. As the wagon circles around a sun-drenched Dakar, its movement embodies the inescapable cycle of life, death, and poverty.
