Goodfellas Boards Cannes Directors’ Fortnight Cameroon-Set Police Drama ‘Untamable’


Goodfellas Boards Thomas Ngijol's Cannes Directors’ Fortnight Cameroon Police Drama ‘Untamable’

The drama is inspired by Mosco Levi Bouko’s 1998 documentary Un crime à Abidjan about an Ivory Coast police commissioner, which Ngijol has fictionalized and transposed to Cameroon. He broke into cinema in 2010 with time-traveling slavery-themed comedy Case départ, co-written and directed with Fabrice Éboué, followed by Le Crocodile du Botswanga, Fastlife and African superhero movie Black Snake. He is joined in the cast by a host of Cameroonian actors including Danilo Melande ( Bikers), Bienvenue Mvoe, Thérèse Ngono ( Les Batailles des Chéries) and Ariana Ntomba.
