Sometimes the camera films of its own volition. Macumba shows
an optical tangle in 13 scenes. As a start signal one hears a
double hammer blow arising from a black screen, a sound like the
nailing shut of a coffin. Macumba develops slowly out of the black.
A black porno couple on the telephone in London. Then they meet
on a snake in a park and are, together with Kalahari Bushmen mixed
to a film matrix which is as incomprehensible as real life. Throughout
Macumba the sound of rain can be heard.
