Magic / Spirited: A masterful work of magical realism. In a sort of Freudian revolt, a young man travels to the source to seek magical powers to combat his sorcerer father. Cissé has stated in an interview for Cahiers du Cinéma that it was "in part made in opposition to European ethnographic films” and that he “wanted to make a response to an external perception, a perception by white technicians and academics, an alien perception.” (Didi Cheeka)
