Cocorico! Monsieur Poulet (Шаблон:IPA-fr, "Cock-a-doodle-do! Mister Chicken") is a 1977 Franco-Nigerien road movie by "Dalarou", a pseudonym for Damouré Zika, Lam Ibrahim Dia and Jean Rouch.[1][2][3][4]
Production
Cocorico! Monsieur Poulet was filmed in and around Niamey, Niger on 16 mm film in 1974. Much of the film was improvised.[5] Damouré Zika used the money he made from Petit à petit (1970) to buy the Citroën 2CV featured in the film.[6]
Synopsis
Lam, owner of a home-built Citroën 2CV named “Patience”, and his apprentice Tallou, drive into the countryside to buy chickens to sell in Niamey. Damouré, an opportunist, joins them on this one-day trip. They encounter adversity, a "demon", and are forced to make multiple crossings of the Niger River.[7]
Reception
Rembert Hüser wrote that in Cocorico! Monsieur Poulet "the technology fetish of Western society gets thoroughly dismantled."[8]
