Expertly weaving the current headlines of marine disasters, which countless African refugees searching for better life meet their watery grave, & the ghost story with the female solidarity twist, Atlantics has all the right ingredient to be a success story of a small art film breakthrough. It's a melancholic romance film set in bustling Dakar, featuring the lives and hopes of young Senegalese we seldom get to see. It's also hopeful & lyrical yet pointy. #MartiDiop #senegalesecinema #atlantics
