Great short movie! <em>'Oseyi and the Masqueraders'</em> tells a tale from Dominica's culture, one I didn't know about before watching but now I'm kinda fascinated about Bann Mové - what a cool thing. The 30 minute run time is well chosen, this Alwin Bully picture is nicely done... that opening shot of the country is just beautiful, the final shot isn't bad either!

Pacquette Langlais does what's required in the lead role as Oseyi, Leonie Forbes is the one onscreen who stood out most to me though as the titular's character's grandmother - good performance. I like how effectively the film portrays Gareth John's Alphonse too. All in all, this is rather excellent - nice vibes thanks to the music, as well.
