Moolaadé (2004) ---=imdb=-------------------------------------- link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416991/ User rating: 7.7/10 ---=Synopisis (Wikipedia)=--------------------- Moolaadé is a 2004 African film by Senegalese director Ousmane Sembène. It addresses the subject of female circumcision, a common practice in a number of African countries, especially nations immediately south of the Sahara desert. The film is set in a village in Burkina Faso, and was filmed in the remote village of Djerrisso, Burkina Faso. The film argues strongly against the practice, depicting a village woman, Colle, who uses moolaadé (magical protection) to protect a group of girls. She is opposed by the villagers who believe in the necessity of circumcision, which they call 'purification'. The film is a co-production between companies from several Francophone nations: Senegal, France, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Morocco and Tunisia. The film won the Prix Un Certain Regard and a special mention in the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004. Prominent American film critic Roger Ebert is a big supporter of the film, naming it one of his top ten of the year. ---=Audio=------------------------------------- 0x2000 (Dolby AC3) AC3 48000Hz 192 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0) Interleave: 96 ms (2.4 v.frames), preload=96 ---=Video=------------------------------------- (CD1) 672 x 368 @ 25.000 fps 58:05.040, 87,126 frames Qf 0.240/1486 kbps ----(CD2) 672 x 368 @ 25.000 fps 1:01:35, 92,373 frames Qf 0.225/1391 kbps ---=Size=-------------------------------------- 734,005,248 (87,216 frames) (CD1) 734,363,648 (92,373 frames) (CD2) ---=Subtitles=--------------------------------- Subtitles provided in English in SRT format. ---=Notes=------------------------------------- This is a different sort of upload.

Hello Zeinab.
Wonderful upload...actually, this movie has been on my list for some time now. Any other sembene, or works by other african directors you have access to?
Thanks once again!

Hi, it's me again.

Thanks again, zeinab.

Dear Arvind,
Thanks a lot for letting me know... on tpb there are two other (dead) torrents, one of which is the celebrated Xala... in case you know other sources, please let me know.
I came by this DVD by chance, didn't even know it existed...so I'm not quite an authority on African movies. Thanks again...

Hello Zeinab!
Thanks for your prompt reply. There are in fact many other sources to sembene's films. Please visit the FF forum, and check under the General Discussions section. I have posted a few links there...i hope they will interest you.
I will also try to discover other interesting fare from africa. In the meantime, if you come across something, please do let me know.
Thanks for your effort, zeinab.

Just to let you know: I'm busy trying to support my sickly torrents (Vor, Moolaade), which is preventing my new uploads from taking place. If someone seeds these nonstop for a while I can upload at least two movies a week, significant ones I can assure you.
Great to see this still alive late 2008.
Thanks zeinabqureshi - and thanks to those still seeding.
Reciprocation is assured.

Yea, it's quite wonderful to see this still alive...as far as things go, African film movies die rather quickly everywhere, not just at tpb... I made sure this was high quality, and I'm thankful for all the seeders...

Zeinab, I always thought I was crazy about films but you are in a different league all together. The depth and breadth of movies you have seen is simply amazing. You would do great as a film critic.
P.S. I am posting this message on other movie boards because I do not know which one you would read.

This torrent has survived and still going strong...I guess Sembene's one of the most exciting directors I've watched.
Thanks again to all seeders who make this miracle possible.

THANKS A LOT ZAINAB BIBI ..FOR SUCH WONDERFUL AND RAREST MOVIES ...I WILL SEED THEM FOREVER ..AND I M SEEDING THEM...
@torrkida and all those who are seeding:
This was one of those torrents which I was praying would not die...luckily it didn't. And now, thanks to you, it's going strong. African films have had their day in the sun, but now nobody really cares...and the spectre of Hollywood haunts us again.
Many thanks to all those who downloaded this movie. Special thanks to those who have seeded at least as much they got...thanks.

Great film and perfect picture quality, but the subtitles have a few problems: there are extra line breaks/¶ in the .srt, which means some key lines of dialogue do not show up. You can manually edit the .srt to fix the line breaks, but it's a pain.
Thanks. *-*
Get the free SubtitleEdit software to edit subs relatively easy.
