For a price ... It is a wonderful tale of justice delayed, of shining a light of true colors of character, and the ridiculousness of human foibles. The cinematography is rich and beautiful with the most intense saturation of color I have ever seen. Review: A Great Filmmaker We Missed - Hyenas is one of those films one cannot describe, because of the total sensiual experiance that comes out of it. Djibril Diop Mambety is an enigmatic figure in African Cinema. His first film, Touki Bouki, won an award at the Cannnes Film Festival in 1974. It was then almost 20 years until His next feature with a few shorts in between. This adaption of Friedrich Durrenmatt's, The Visit, takes the cold power of this story of spurned love to another level entirely. It becomes a metaphorical tales of materialism and consumerism and the value of human life in general. It has beautiful music,clever dialogue, ("...what is that you are smoking," Drame Dramen asks, "...if you were to ask it's name, it would say Havana..." replies the mayor of the town of Coloban. This film examines the revenge of a woman, Ramatou, driven out of town when she becomes pregnant by a married man. The Married Man, Drame Dramen, enlists the aid of two friends who lie and say she slept with her also to bring her character into question. She is driven from the town in disgrace. Twenty years later she returns a millionaire with the intention of buying justice and revenge with cold cash and consumer goods. Amidst surrealistics imagery of Washers Dryers and air conditioners she woes the villager to make them complict in her exacting that revenge. She wants the head of DFramen Drame...and the villagers may be all too willing to comply and the whispers begin. It is a timeless tale that seems to exist between now and then, a japanese woman chaffeur breaks out a cell phone in the mdidst of a dusty town on the edge of an eternal then....a crippled prosecutor, the peole of the town are colorful and brilliantly portrayed, the mayors seems a character from an African Oz...this is cinema at it's finest. I could go on but I would just like to encourage everyone to see this film. I know what I will be giving for gifts this year to close friends. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000D0YWV | | Actors | Diakhate, Ami, Diouf, Mansour, Fall, Calgou, Gueye, Faly, Gueye, Mamadou Mahourédia | | Best Sellers Rank | #325,700 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #5,414 in Foreign Films (Movies & TV) #27,636 in Comedy (Movies & TV) #42,434 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (54) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 4 ounces | | Release date | October 28, 2003 | | Run time | 1 hour and 50 minutes | | Studio | Kino Lorber films | | Subtitles: | English | ## Images ![Hyenas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YYZFo8FiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly, Hell Hath No Fury Meets Revenge Is a Dish Best Eaten Cold *by S***S on October 1, 2017* Diop Mambetty's masterfully told and photographed tale of the revenge of a woman wronged as a young woman by the town roué, run out of town as a slut, and who returns in her maturity, wealthy, queenly, and willing to help her old hometown that has fallen upon hard times.

Then Linguère Ramatou returns after decades away, having accumulated fabulous wealth and seeking vengeance for a long-past but deeply grievous wrong carried out by Dramaan. The film explores fascinating issues of justice and money and the relationship between the two. It also explores how the promise of money changes people. The pacing is pretty good. The film is in Wolof with English subtitles. The DVD has no special features: Just the movie and the option of scene selection. My favorite line: "She has more money than the World Bank!" Note on content: No swearing, no sex. Mention of prostitution and an adolescent pregnancy. No visual violence. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/30767306-hyenas](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/30767306-hyenas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
