Jaguar
dir. Jean Rouch · 1967
The pursuit of dreams often leads to self-discovery and a deeper understanding of one's place in the world.
Three friends set out on foot towards the Gold Coast, driven by dreams of wealth and the hope of returning to their village transformed. As they traverse the landscape, their conversations reveal the complexities of ambition, friendship, and the stark contrasts between their rural roots and the urban allure they seek.
Jaguar, a kind of road movie on foot, tells of the journey of three friends, Damouré, Lam and Illo, on their way to the Gold Coast where they hope to make a fortune in order to return to their village in a few months.
