The Most Interesting Movie of 1999, 13 December 1999
8/10
Author: Michael Fleischhacker from United States

"La Genese" is not the best film of 1999, but it certainly is the most interesting.

Based rather loosely on the biblical story of Jacob, director Cheick Oumar Sissoko and screenwriter Jean-Louis Sagot-Duraroux have stripped away the text's complexities to give us a study of tribal culture. While not a theological study, it certainly is a fascinating look at a society of which most of us in the western world are unaware.
