We Shall Return

About This Movie

We Shall Return is a fascinating piece that weaves Angola's intricate history through the eyes of a taxidermy sable antelope—yes, you heard that right. It has this almost surreal quality, blending drama and fantasy in a way that pulls you in slowly. The pacing feels deliberate, letting each moment resonate as it explores colonial legacies and their echoes in today's world. There’s a unique visual style at play, with painted backdrops and staged scenes that give it a distinctive feel, almost like a living tableau. The way it approaches memory and history feels fresh, and the practical effects are intriguing, adding layers to the storytelling. It's quite unlike anything else out there.
