Suddenly we’re in a different country & hearing someone talk about Shango. In France, we don’t see the speaker except through a reflection. Famous people featured, but only knew it by looking up Act of God on Wikipedia. The filmmaker’s point may be to reflect lightning: artificially isolated & random, but I think these details could have been revealed without a pedantic narrator or a lot of exposition. In other words, the experience is already mysterious. Don’t make it more esoteric than it has to be.
