What a joy to discover an artist like Moustapha Alassane! In these days of all-digital, film production controlled by 3D, stuffed with special effects, it just reminds us that art is not limited not art, it aims to overtake and imperative! His talent is protean, adapting to current needs and the materials he has in his possession: his only constant is to offer fables terribly endearing and pinning without having the air through which Africa is Contemporary. So it is with a "Bon Voyage, Sim", animated short made in 1966. This is the story of the president of a republic of toads after an official trip abroad to see ousted his return. Unfortunately after itself censored, Alassane has retained only the "politically correcte" de son histoire, ce qui la rend quelque peu bancale et d'un intérêt moindre. Néanmoins l'on se contentera largement du coup de crayon du cinéaste nigérien et de ses amusants personnages! [2/4]
