Description:
This piece arose from Zina Saro-Wiwa's interest in Nollywood and the African emotional landscape. The close-up of crying face is a classic nollywood trope. A trademark of the genre. The sobbing female figure, a grieving widow, a repentant woman of the night, the dutiful but put-upon wife. Almost certainly inspired by soap opera, but popular because of it’s resonance with the Nigerian psyche, the performance of pain – close up – forms the emotional backbone of Nollywood film.
