PRODUCED: Ken Attoh WRITTEN & DIRECTED Shirley Frimpong Manso (A very creative and well written movie – very interesting) THEME: :Life, Death, Relationships, Disappointments, Ghost, Abortion, etc.
STORY: A twisted tale of two unemployed graduates who embark on a journey to make it in a world where you need more than what you have to get what you want. Kuuku is overwhelmed with the urgency to succeed and frantically searches for a reward to his several years of school. Frustrated and constantly reminded of his failure by the presence of his girlfriend (Frema); Kuuku will do anything to make the odds work in his favor. Nii Aryee, (Kuuku’s abstemious looking friend) is more positive about the future until the rejection letters begin to mound and his landlord comes to town. Driven by the fear of poverty these two friends go in search of a destiny that take them to the most obscure places. In a tale where the unexpected is always lurking in the shadows, from the natural to the supernatural in a rather bizarre ending. NOTHING PREPARES YOU FOR THE STING. MUSIC & SOUND SCORE: The music and sound score of the movie was just perfect – I just loved it. Beautiful sound score and good music including some Ghanaian music - Hip life. MY REVIEW: This is a movie you can definitely enjoy with your family and guest after dinner, as well as Reloaded, Guilty Pleasures and Silent Scandal. This is a movie you watch from beginning to end to truly understand the mystery and suspense of it all. The storyline and/or synopsis are the best I can do to at least give you an idea of what it’s about. I however suggest you BUY this movie ASAP and watch it, buy a couple (as I also mentioned in the Silent Scandal review) plus Guilty Pleasures, Reloaded and Silent Scandal and gift wrap it for your friends and family during any holiday season. They will Love you the more – I promise. One thing that makes me proud of Shirley Frimpong Manso is the fact that she showcases true Ghanaian culture – the names used for the characters (e.g. Kuuku, Nii Aryee, Frema, Esi etc), the customs (e.g. Fufu pounding) the sometimes local dialect, pidgin or languages intertwined in the movie (to give it a mixture) and most of all her usage of the most beautiful picturesque postcard-ish sceneries of Ghana (not just the city of Accra). Love it Love it Love it. This movie is 100% true Ghanaian – the accents are real Ghanaian undiluted – no faking of accents and yankie-fied pretentious nonsense. Shirley does not fail to cast great Ghanaian actors who are always the most articulate, eloquent and can bring the character to life – LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT, that’s just what I love immensely. In conclusion – this movie “A Sting in a Tale” is a great and phenomenal movie and I suggest you all go and BUY it. It’s funny, it’s intriguing, its heart wrenching in some scenes and the suspense is great. LOVE IT.
