Simb, le Jeux du Faux Lion

1969 · 12 min Documentary

The game of the false lion is a custom dating back more than a century. It is believed that only the people who have been touched by the lion can identify with it and be subject to the influence of its behaviour. Pierre N'Gom, with this son, the lion cub, are the last descendants of a family of false lions. In the chaos of the popular celebration, and to the endless rhythm of drums, the lion and the cub attack the public to give vent to their aggressiveness. The false lion can be tamed only by the eloquence of the word.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Simb, le Jeux du Faux Lion is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1969. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
