ABOUT THE FILM

"Awarded the Jury Prize and Best Actor Prize in the Un Certain Regard selection at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, Boris Lojkine’s portrait of a modern migrant propels us into the precarious world of an otherwise invisible man."
— Watershed summary

"This lean, high pressure drama features an outstanding performance by first-time actor, Abou Sangare, as Souleymane, a food delivery worker recently arrived from Guinea, who hurtles through the night streets of Paris on an electric-bike, while trying to memorize the story he will tell ..."
★★★★★ Liam Lacey, Original CIN

"The film’s considerable power depends entirely on its moment-to-moment persuasiveness, on a set of narrative and aesthetic choices that, as presented—in a series of swift, kinetically composed, and jaggedly edited scenes—seldom feel like choices at all."
★★★★★ By Justin Chang, The New Yorker

"Abou Sangaré is magnificent in a story that shines light on the enforced invisibility of economic migrants."
★★★★ Phil Hoad, The Guardian
