TALES OF ORDINARY PEOPLE: Le Franc
For the first time on DVD, these two now classic shorts, Le Franc and La petite vendeuse de Soleil (The Little Girl who Sold the Sun) by the iconoclastic Senegalese filmmaker Djibril Diop Mambety were originally intended as a trilogy under the title, Tales of Ordinary People. Mambety?s untimely death in 1998 prevented the completion of the third film.
