Electric (MAMI MFF 2024 #13)

You know what's going to happen in Little Jaffna if you've been following the news over the past decade. It may even be easier to predict what will happen to Michael, the central character, if you know the Tamil diaspora in France and a part of it that coddles up to certain causes in Sri Lanka. Yet Little Jaffna is a film that's so electrifying - with a fabulous score and an even better editing - you're bound to get charged up after watching it. The film uses the French boulevards to their maximum effect, giving us viewers a feeling that we're right there in the middle of the chaos created by Michael's new friends who work for a leader whose loyalties lie with a certain group waging war in their home country. A powerful film that has an even more powerful impact. Loved it.
