For The Love Of Movies... Can We Talk?Check Out This Cool New Film Noirish Poster For Congolese Thriller "Viva Riva!"
I'm loving this brand new poster for Djo Tunda Wa Munga's Congo-Kinshasa-set crime thriller, Viva Riva - a film I saw and reviewed enthusiastically earlier this year (calling it a pulsating look at a post-war city), and which will be released here in the USA this summer - just next month actually.
The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last fall, and we've been tracking it for several months now.
Its synopsis, again, reads as follows: Riva is a small time operator who has just returned to his hometown of Kinshasa, Congo after a decade away with a major score: a fortune in hijacked gasoline. Wads of cash in hand and out for a good time, Riva is soon entranced by beautiful night club denizen Nora, the kept woman of a local gangster. Into the mix comes an Angolan crime lord relentlessly seeking the return of his stolen shipment of gasoline.
The full poster, courtesy of Cinemablend, follows below:
