Adeptly combining elements of African folklore and popular cinema, Ousmane Sembène’s hilarious, caustic satire—adapted from his own 1973 novel—indicts the hubris, entitlement, and opportunism of male authority figures. On the night of his wedding to his third bride, a government official is rendered impotent and begins to suspect that one of his other wives has placed a curse on him.
