Batouk

Running 1s and made in France, Batouk (1968) is a Documentary film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Judith Jamison; Jean-Jacques Manigot directs. 2 votes put it at 9/10. This uneven and uninspired documentary of Africa is a collection from various stock footage. Female dancers in mod clothes dance on the Eiffel Tower in comparison to the primitive dances of native Africans. A lone runner trains for a marathon, and a few animals are shown in their natural habitat. Commentary and modern jazz and pop music help to make this seem much longer than 66 minutes.
