“We wanted to create this kind of intimacy, especially in the way we shot it…and all these men seemed very uncomfortable by that,” Shawkat told IndieWire.
Shawkat and the film’s director, Miguel Arteta ( The Good Girl), originally intended for this story of an expedited relationship to be set over a more conventional year-and-a-half, and for Sergio to be played by a guy. What follows is a very relatable, very uncomfortable look at two people falling madly in and out of romance. Oh, and they have to have sex every hour. The two hatch a plan to spend the next 24 hours together in an effort to really get to know each other and skip the bullshit of the initial first-year courtship period. In it, emotionally-withdrawn, struggling indie-film actor, Naima (Alia Shawkat), hooks up with the free-spirited musician, Sergio (Laia Costa), after meeting at a bar that night. Mark my words: Duck Butter was the most underrated movie of 2018. It does, however, remain one of the most exciting depictions of young queer love that film gave us in 2018. Sadly, Rafiki did not end up making the 2019 Academy Awards shortlist (nor was it Kenya’s official selection). In Kenya, it was banned by the notorious Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) because of “homosexual practices that run counter to the laws and the culture of Kenyan people.” Kahiu sued and in a historic ruling, the ban was temporarily lifted and the film was screened for seven days, the minimum numbers of days a film must screen in its home country in order to qualify for an Oscars nomination. It also went on to screen at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival. Outside of Kenya, Rafiki made history as the first Kenyan feature film to premiere at Cannes. The film made waves inside and outside Kenya this year. Kenyan filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu’s Rafiki tells the love story of two young women in Nairobi facing homophobia and discrimination in a society in which queer intimacy is both dangerous and illegal.
