Synopsis

Riva, a small time operator, returns to his hometown of Kinshasa, Congo with a major score: a fortune in hijacked gasoline. Wads of cash in hand, Riva is soon entranced by the kept woman of a local gangster. Into the mix comes an Angolan crime lord seeking the return of his stolen gasoline.

MUBI's take

This slick Congolese thriller from emerging director Djo Munga (State of Mind) takes us through the crime-ridden backstreets of DR Congo’s capital with electrifying pacing and a deliciously noir-soaked nihilism. Expect plenty of sex, violence, and some tightly wound performances: Viva Riva indeed!
