From the elegance and control of "Sans Soleil" to the chaos of "Kinshasa Kids", a film about a gang of street kids who dream of hitting the big time as a band.
The film is an interesting hybrid of fiction and documentary; at times, the action stops dead or changes direction abruptly due to an event somewhere near the scene. The squalor of the place is devastating and it seems the kids are the economic engine of the place, although mostly a result of petty theft.
The music is the high point of the film, bringing joy to the lives of the kids and to the audience.
