I would like to explore the paradox of narration in these films a bit further — in between narrative interference in the historical event and the guarantee that the latter emerges in its full complexity — by focusing in more detail in two sequences one from each film that will hopefully allow me to illustrate the role of contrasting elements in narrative.

Despite this critical and unusual vision of European colonialism, as well as its aesthetics, the great merit of the film was the international attention it achieved. At stake was the issue of decolonization and the different solutions to be found after the cease-fire in Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique.
