CINEMAGOERS flocked at the Kacyiru based Goethe-Institut on Tuesday evening, to watch the long awaited 2010 Congolese classic movie, "Viva Riva”. Speaking to the crowd, Dr Peter Stepan, director Goethe-Institut, commended DR Congo’s film industry urging local filmmakers to borrow a leaf from their neighbours."The director of "Viva Riva” Djiro Tunda Wa Munga, has been in the film industry for long and this film is an enriching example and challenge to our local filmmakers and hope they will learn a lot tonight,” said Dr Stepan.Leah Kanziga, a student at National University of Rwanda, said the movie was more than just an ordinary film."The movie was based on things that happen in our daily life and I enjoyed it because it didn’t favour anyone, not even Viva, the main actor,” she said.Synopsis The 96-minute film is probably one of the most brilliant gangster movies ever produced in Africa. Riva is a bit-part gangster who is smart, ambitious and willing to bend the rules. After a ten-year absence, he returns to his hometown Kinshasa with a hijacked truckload of petrol from his Angolan ex-boss Cesar.With wads of cash and all out for a good time, Riva is soon entranced by the beautiful red haired Nora, the kept woman of a local gangster and a violent and gripping hunt begins. The film captures the particular vibe of the Kinshasa underground exposing the society’s well-oiled corruption machine with candor.
