Viva Riva
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2022 6:30 am
Written and directed by Congolese Djo Tunga Won Munda, Viva Riva is a very entertaining movie.
Here is the youtube blurb from the trailer
Riva is a small time operator who has just returned to his hometown of Kinshasa, Congo after a decade away with a major score: a fortune in hijacked gasoline. Wads of cash in hand and out for a good time, Riva is soon entranced by beautiful night club denizen Nora, the kept woman of a local gangster. Into the mix comes an Angolan crime lord relentlessly seeking the return of his stolen shipment of gasoline. Director Djo Tunda Wa Munga's Kinshasa is a seductively vibrant, lawless, fuel-starved sprawl of shantytowns, gated villas, bordellos and nightclubs and Riva is its perfect embodiment.

Best line in the film (translated from French) "You niggers were better off under colonialism." I don't know where you could see the film. Check the internetz.
