Tossup

In this film, a man asserts that Brazil intentionally lost 3-0 to France in the 1998 World Cup final because France bribed them with a boatload of rice. A Haitian immigrant who wears a long blue dress and red high heels watches a man dancing in a sequence in this film that is abruptly interrupted by shots of two people buried up to their necks. Early in this film, the camera pans across the remnants of some statues used for target practice. A very long, extremely wide shot in this film depicts a man wearily wading across a gigantic watering hole. This film lingers on close-ups on the bleeding nostrils of the corpse of a cow named (*) “GPS.” This 2014 film’s opening tracking shot, in which a gazelle sprints away from some armed men in a Jeep, acts as a visual metaphor for the draconian policies imposed by the extremist group Ansar Dine. For 10 points, name this Abderrahmane Sissako film about a Malian city. ■END■ (10[3])
