Review
Despite its international rep as a hub for African cinema, Burkina Faso produces only a few films each year—making each new release worthy of note. S. Pierre Yameogo puts the spotlight to good use in his moving sixth feature, Delwende, which follows a group of vibrant female characters who face beatings, banishments, and worse at the hands of their male compatriots.
