A film that represents…
Akoni is a gem indie film which shines a light on the refugee experience. It crosses borders and cultures and adds a colourful romantic story between an Australian Girl and an African Man. It also delves into the psychology of Western privilege… The story and characters are nuanced, conveyimg depth and emotion. It takes us on the journey effortlessly with style and tone. The writing, directing and editing is fresh and engaging, continually keeping you glued to the screen. The sound design and score is pitch perfect, dramatic and emotive adding to the overall message. The one thing that stood out in the film is it’s message of kindness. Highly recommended.
I loved it
I absolutely loved this film! Apart from the cinematography, sound and music score that was spot on, the story really resonated with me.The film was not fast paced, but the still moments were filled with unspoken emotion and thoughts which, to me, didn’t make it feel slow and filled the silence. When the lead actors didn’t speak, I felt like I could hear their exact thoughts. Their emotion, or rather the emotion that the characters were trying to hide, and their body language told another layer of the story perfectly.
Simon Elrahi’s performance was a great balance to the story and offered warmth.
The African scenery was superb too.
I also loved how abruptly the film ended, which to me meant that the filmmaker was saying that the problems addressed in the film is ongoing and no resolution has been found for it yet.
I think that perhaps people with less “lived experience” on the topic or compassion and understanding for the topic might not grasp it fully. But it certainly touched me and resonated with me. I left the cinema feeling overwhelmed with emotion and found myself looking at the trailer the follow day reliving the experience.
