Watch African Metropolis For Free
African Metropolis
The vitality of the African city has provided local filmmakers with a rich array of stories for their films. African Metropolis presents six short films that examine the complexity of urban life in Abidjan, Cairo, Dakar, Johannesburg, Lagos and Nairobi. They run the gamut of genres, but in all the central character is the city itself. A Jewish pensioner lives alone in a Johannesburg apartment, the last resident of an ever-changing city. In a Nairobi of the future, one man searches for the girl of his dreams. Dakar is the backdrop to an intimate conversation between two women. Abidjan once played host to the American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. In Cairo a musician sees the gap between rich and poor expand. And a final film confronts the perils of the poverty trap.

Reviews
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
