La Vie est Belle takes us inside the vibrant music scene of Kinshasa, the Congo's exhilarating and exasperating capital whose back alleys and clubs pulsate to the beat of some of the most influential music in the world. The film, starring Soukous music legend Papa Wemba, tells the "rags to riches" story of a poor country musician who seeks fame in the city's vibrant music industry. This lively farce illustrates the Congolese faith in Systeme-D or debrouillardise, fending for yourself to survive in the face of overwhelming obstacles. If there is a commercial cinema in Africa's future, then La Vie est Belle may be one of its precursors. "A genial musical offering and insightful look at Zaire." - New York Times. "Joyful entertainment!...Papa Wemba has the appeal of a young Harry Belafonte." - Variety. "Like Black Orpheus, La Vie Est Belle is a fairy tale embellished by joyous music and phantasmagorical images" - Village Voice 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Rural-urban migration|vDrama|zAfrica|zCongo. 650 0 Social life and customs|vDrama|zAfrica|zCongo. 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 700 1 Lamy, Benoît |d1945–2008.|efilm director. 700 1 Ngangura, Mweze |d1950-.|efilm director. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/139690|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/139690/external -image
