Saint Louis Blues
Un transport en commun
2009
Synopsis
At the end of summer, six impatient travelers are in a rush to leave Dakar for Saint-Louis. Through the long taxi journey, with its intense heat and overcrowded routes, these passengers, who seemingly have nothing in common, unite their destinies by turning their life stories into songs.
Editorial
Born in Paris but of Senegalese descent, acclaimed director Dyana Gaye returns to her heritage of transit in this freewheeling film. Oral storytelling tradition weaves with the spirit of Jacques Demy—but put those umbrellas away! This is a musical road trip that shines under the radiant African sun.
