About This Magnificent Cake!
In 1885, Africa is a succulent cake destined to be wildly divided and everyone wants a piece. A disturbed European king, a Pygmy working in a luxury hotel, a successful but lonely businessman, an enslaved porter, a young army deserter, a ghostly clarinetist. Some benefit from colonialism and greed. Others suffer racism and violence.
Directed by Marc James Roels, Emma De Swaef, This Magnificent Cake! leans on a strong ensemble — Jan Decleir, Bruno Levie, Paul Huvenne — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2018.
