Sometimes it pays off to be the kind of kid that teachers hate, that parents slap around, that are anything but the Good-Two-Shoes types who think they have it made. In the movies and in literature, they make for more interesting characters, the kind that the girls go for before settling down with the nice guys who will make good fathers. Think of the vastly entertaining "400 Blows," which features Jean-Pierre Léaud as Antoine Doinel, a misunderstand teen who is ignored at home and opts for a life of petty crime. Or how about Richie Andrusco's role as Joey Norton in Ray Ashley and Morris Engel's 1953 movie "Little Fugitive," a fellow who runs away to Coney Island thinking that he had killed his brother. Spellbinding stuff.

Malian filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako may have made the one African film everybody needs to see . at least for its disarming fugue of frank political awareness and state-of-the-quotidian African life. In most other ways, though, "Bamako" (2006) is a challenge to orthodoxy, because it's not driven by its narrative, and hardly even provides an establishing context for itself. Before we know it, we're in a sun-dappled Mali courtyard (Sissako's family home, as it turns out), in which a kind of tribunal is going on, complete with black-robed jurists, waiting witnesses, anxious journalists and stacks of documentation. This is, we slowly realize, a fantasy trial in which the African people have taken civil proceedings against the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and American-led global capitalism in general, for the crime of exploiting and loan-sharking the continent and its peoples. The testimony is not from actors, but from real African citizens,...
