It's not often we get an African film on our screens in Australia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and hardly ever one from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The last one we saw set in this part of the world was probably Lumumba,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Haitian French director Raoul Peck's 2002 portrait of Patrice Lumumba, the ill-fated independence leader of the 1950s. That movie was an unflinching portrayal of colonial powers jostling behind the scenes, and blood that spilled on the dirt streets.
Throughout much of subsequent history conflict has ravaged the population in this part of Africa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the new film Viva Riva,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which swept the African Movie Awards this year, is set in the aftermath of the last war which ended in 2003, amid the chaos of petrol shortages,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], widespread corruption and electricity blackouts. On his tail is a ruthless Angolan gangster,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dressed in a white suit and prim Louis Vuitton sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Riva (Patsha Bay) is not a man to worry. On his first night back he heads out on the town with an old friend and makes yet another enemy when he falls for a the beautiful girlfriend of yet another gangster (Manie Malone). From the moment he sees her,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he pursues her relentlessly. This is just the beginning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and there are many other colourful characters: a corrupt lesbian commander in charge of the local garrison,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a peroxide prostitute who tries to play different crims off against each other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a priest who's not averse to making a deal with the devil. 'Money is like poison, at the very end it kills you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' someone says in a rare lull in the film.
Viva Riva is about a society that's come undone. A scene where Riva stumbles back to his family home highlights not just his own backstory,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the tragedy of the last 50 years of this people as he and his father,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who's disgusted by him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], come to blows. Comparisons to the Brazilian favella movie City of God are easy to make but I think Viva Riva doesn't have the same sense of claustrophobia. In it's colour,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], its pulsating rhythms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the outdoor restaurants serving oily barbecue chicken,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's a love of life that's not just about the hedonism of most of the characters. You might even call it a glimpse of optimism. Munga's film,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], via its irrepressible central character, suggests an interesting paradox. Even with its scenes of torture and its characters who lose their humanity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's also about the beauty of life. Right from the celebratory title itself. Viva Riva!
