Netflix has on a roll lately by constantly adding more Nigerian movies to its catalog.
Last week, it was “The Figurine (Araromire)” by Kunle Afolayan, this time, it's “The Bling Lagosians,” a 2019 move directed by Bolanle Austen-Peters which started streaming today, October 11, 2019.
The movie follows an affluent, flamboyant, over the top family, the Holloways, living in Lagos. Despite not being as wealthy as they used to be, the family struggles to hold on to their past glory even if it means living in debt.
Peters said, “In doing the Bling Lagosians, I observed certain things in our society and I decided to tell the story, a relatable story, that people would see and recognise this is the real us. This story is like a mirror, so we can look at ourselves in a mirror and see the flaws. This is a story of deceit, lust, love, greed, passion, it’s a story of excess’ but with redeeming qualities.”
The movie features Nollywood stars like Mona Lisa Chinda, Jide Kosoko, Gbenga Titiloye, Elvina Ibru, Helen Paul, Osas Ighodaro Ajibade, Alex Ekubo, Toyin Abraham and former Big Brother housemates, Bisola and Bambam.
Since its release in Nigerian cinemas in June 2019, the film has made over N120 million, making it the ninth highest-grossing Nigerian film of all time.
It has also been nominated for the 2019 City People Movie Award for Best Movie of the Year (English).
