Restless City

Restless City is a 2011 independent drama film written by Eugene M. Gussenhoven and directed by Andrew Dosunmu.

It stars Sy Alassane, Sky Nicole Grey, Tony Okungbowa, Stephen Tyrone Williams, and Danai Gurira.

An aspiring musician, he hopes to one day score a record deal, but after four years in the United States he still scrapes together a living by selling CDs on the street and taking on gigs as a courier with the help of his moped.

To raise enough money to make an album, Djibril agrees to work for Bekay, a pimp and loan shark.

[4] Ernest Hardy of The Village Voice said, "Told in an elliptical style with a pacing and jagged rhythms that take some getting used to, the thrust and power of the film lies in its poetic imagery, in the way Dosunmu and cinematographer Bradford Young use light and composition to make almost every frame (breathtaking profiles; close-ups on faces and feet; slo-mo moped rides down city streets) stunning.
