1982 · Film · ★ 6.7
Released in 1982, Transes is a musique and documentaire film directed by Ahmed El Maânouni, running about 90 minutes. “Here at last comes the time of ecstasy, of trances.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Un reportage sur le groupe casaouis "Nass Al Ghiwane", qui puise son inspiration dans les racines de la culture marocaine et noire africaine. Le film alterne les extraits d’un concert joué devant un public en transes et les interventions des membres du groupe qui expliquent leur parcours, et comment ils ont rompu avec la mode de la musique orientale venue d’Egypte pour se replonger dans les sources autrement plus vivifiantes de la musique gnawa. Leur répertoire est puisé dans le creuset de la culture et la poésie marocaine, mais aussi dans des textes soufis. Martin Scorsese qui a permis la restauration de ce film, qualifiait le groupe de « Rolling Stones de l'Afrique ».
