THE WOMAN WITH THE KNIFE

1969 / Ivory Coast / 80’ / Noir & blanc / status : completed

A young African intellectual frequently has nightmares of a woman with a knife. These nightmares cause him sexual inhibition and prevent him from having normal relationships. Through a combination of traditional African healing and Western psychoanalysis, he ultimately realises that these “sightings” are the result of a traumatic experience at a younger age when his strict mother caught him embracing a girl and chastised him for it.
