A Country More Beautiful Than Before
A Country More Beautiful Than Before is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 2018, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
The wanderings of a retail trader, Jean-Simon, sketch the contours of a microcosmic informal economy in Congolese society. The financial urgency of everyday life is permeated by the political situation in Congo: a larger, more abstract urgency, which the diaspora experiences from a distance. The film finds itself somewhere in between these two imperatives, between here and somewhere else, the past and the present, small money and big money.
