DESCRIPTION:Dôlé Imunga Ivanga (Gabon/France, 2001)   (a.k.a. Dollar, Money). “A 
 kind of 400 Blows in Gabon” (California Newsreel), Dôlé combines the 
 French-inspired aesthetic of African art cinema with the street-level 
 commercial flair of Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, or John Singleton in its 
 look at a young boy coming of age in Gabon's colorful port city of 
 Libreville. The quick-witted, doe-eyed Mougler could be a disaffected 
 teenager anywhere, given to reading Raptronic Magazine, flirting with 
 girls, and practicing his gangsta poses (and petty thievery) with friends. 
 Mougler, however, is a teenager in Gabon, a place where options are few, 
 and most hopes are circling around the new lottery game dôlé; the 
 question for his gang is whether to play it, or rob its cashbox. Populist 
 African filmmaking at its finest, Dôlé enlivens its universal 
 coming-of-age-in-a-criminal-world theme with a strong Franco-African 
 hip-hop soundtrack and the camerawork of Dominique Fausset, who captures 
 the specific ambience of the teeming streets and desolate waterways of 
 Libreville.   —Jason Sanders   • Written by Ivanga. Photographed by 
 Dominique Fausset. With David N'Guema-N'Koghe, Emile Mepango, Roland Nkeyi, 
 Evrard Elle. (92 mins, In French with English subtitles, Color, 35mm)   \n
