It’s as rich, observant and absorbing as any great book about identity, imbued with a lush cinematic splendor that makes every moment last a lifetime.

A funny and formally adventurous adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway set in modern-day Nigeria.

Clarissa takes some time to answer its central question about the nature of freedom within rigid sociopolitical structures. The languid approach has structural and thematic purpose, and an answer in and of itself.
