When we compare to the last few Nigerian movie releases on Netflix, this film is a much better watch. Though a simple story, with a plot break, It will entertain you nonetheless.
In the beginning, we get a back story, one that tells that, In ancient tines, specific to the old Yoruba land; that, when people die, they weren’t buried by digging up six feet In to the ground to place them, Instead, they were left In the enchanted forest, with hopes that the forest will determine If they were to live or die actually.
Oh, but one of the two will happen.
This Is the latest Nigerian language period piece drama flick, released on Netflix on the 30th of September,.2022.
The movie was produced and directed by Kunle Afolayan. It tells a beautiful story through the eyes of culture and tradition.
It was set In the pre-colonial era as far back as the 17th century of the Old Oyo Empire, where it followed the life of a man named Saro.
The cast of the film includes Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Sola Sobowale, Kunle Remi, Bimbo Ademoye, Taiwo Hassan, Faithia Balogun, Adebayo Salami, Kareem Adepoju, Moji Olayiwola and Aisha Lawal.
It went In the whole nine yards and invited for cast, several more faces of the old time Yoruba movie industry In Nigeria. The presence of so many old time Yoruba movie actors was whelming and somehow nostalgic, great to see, I have to admit.
It was a story of a Business traveller named Saro, who found his way In to the old Oyo kingdom, In search of greener pastures. In Oyo, he found favour and things began to change for good.
Unfortunately, he also found love In a forbidden place, first he craved the abominable, and eventually got caught in the web of lust.
His illicit affair with the king’s youngest
wife, Arolake led to his untimely death and encounter with the Ęyę Akala, a mystical bird believed in then days of old Yoruba culture, to give and take life.
The movie started off with a badly beaten, dead man lying in the middle of the forest, one eye plucked out or maybe swollen, while the other was definitely swollen and blood shot. Suddenly, a big black bird, with blazing fiery furnace eyes and a black mysterious smoke around it, landed and made the man come back to life.
He then asked the resurrected man, what caused his untimely death, as this took us back to the past.
The flash back here was Saro telling us the...
