"'Elesin Oba: The King's Horseman' is a Nigerian film that was part of the official selection of the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. A great story adapted from Wole Soyinka's play 'Death and the King's Horseman', which takes us into the tangled web of an internal opinion on the discussion of modernity and traditions. Odunlade Adekola (Elesin) delivers a striking performance that will sweeten, captivate and fill you with nostalgia with each of his moments on screen. A beautiful look at African cinema."
