A Certain Morning is quite the intriguing piece. It pulls you into the life of Riga, this farmer caught in a web of his own making. The film contrasts the serene life on the Mossi plateau with the harsh truths that come crashing in when he hears a woman’s plea. Nacro has a knack for creating a tense atmosphere, where the mundane meets the shocking. You really feel the slow pacing, almost like waiting for the other shoe to drop. The performances are raw, with a certain authenticity that feels refreshing. It’s a debut that really makes you think about the illusions we create in our lives and the stark realities lurking just beneath.
