We're so excited for you all to go out and see Viva Riva! The Congolese film noir gem directed by Djo Tunda Wa Munga is one of the best movies to come out this year. Period. It's on circuit in South Africa today. Patsha Bay (who's also a well known Congolese singer) plays Riva, a young man who cuts his rogue boss out of a petrol deal in Kinshasa, a place in severe shortage of fuel. Needless to say, things get real when the A Pimp Named Slickback-like boss - and everyone who catches wind of the bountiful hidden petrol - starts looking for Riva. Among other awards, this film scooped an MTV Movie Award in the first Best African Film category. Shiiiiine.
See? Manie Malone (who plays Riva's love interest, Nora) is still phly even when not in character:
