And the Dogs Were Silent
For 'Et les chiens se taisaient' Maldoror adapted a piece of theatre by the poet and politician Aimé Césaire (1913–2008), about a rebel who becomes profoundly aware of his otherness when condemned to death. His existential dialogue with his mother reverberates around the African sculptures on display at the Musée de l'Homme, a Parisian museum full of colonial plunder whose director was the Surrealist anthropologist Michel Leiris.

Reviews
Good concept, poorly executed.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
