"Life is Rosy"
("La Vie Est Belle")
1987
Directed by Ngangura Mweze & Bernard Lamy
A farce infused with
the Zairian sense of belief in Systeme-D or debrouillardise (the art of hustling for
survival), this film explores the rich musical world of Kinshasha. It follows a young man
who uses wit and guile to trick his greedy boss, attain the woman he loves, and sing his
favorite song ("La Vie Est Belle") on national television. French with English
subtitles. Zaire.
85 minutes.
