Watt is a fascinating exploration of love and obsession set against the backdrop of Kinshasa's vibrant streets. The film weaves a complex tale of Blasty who juggles his affections for Céli and his stereo radio, creating this unique dynamic. The atmosphere is rich with the sounds of the city, which almost becomes a character in its own right. The pacing is meandering, almost reflective, mirroring the everyday lives of the characters. You get a sense of both intimacy and distance through their interactions. Also, the performances are pretty raw, capturing that unfiltered charm of local life. It’s distinctive in its rather unconventional storytelling and the way it combines romance with a bit of urban commentary, making it a curious watch.
