The African Doctor is a charming blend of comedy and culture clash set against the backdrop of 1975 France. It follows Seyolo Zantoko, a Congolese physician navigating life in a small, often prejudiced village after escaping tyranny. The film has this wonderful, light-hearted tone that contrasts Seyolo's heavy backstory. The pacing feels just right—there are moments of genuine warmth, mixed with the awkwardness of fitting in a new environment. The performances, especially from the lead, are quite engaging, capturing both the struggles and humor of adaptation. It's interesting how it tackles themes of identity and acceptance through a comedic lens. Definitely distinct with its unique setting and relatable premise.
