Angano... Angano...

The film takes a mostly hands off approach, letting a handful Malagasys tell their own tales interspersed with a some scenes of modern way of life and rituals in Madagascar. What results is a wonderful film that beautifully blends two central themes. The glimpse of Malagasy culture through the telling of myths provides a wealth of specific information, while the sincere but unassuming approach to their own myths raises wider questions of how we interact with cultural norms, taboos and rituals.
