FADER TV: Souleymane Sy Savane of Goodbye Solo

THE FADER

Featured in our current issue #60, the film Goodbye Solo now has tentative plans to explode onto the indie scene and warm the hearts of many at SXSW this weekend. But before that happens, here’s our conversation with “Solo” himself, actor Souleymane Sy Savane. Ramin Bahrani’s third feature film, following one of the greatest films of 2008, follows the relationship between an unhappy 70-year-old Southern passenger and his Senegalese taxi driver–played by Savane, who emigrated from the Ivory Coast not long ago to pursue a career in modeling, quickly expanded his horizons to acting, and is now well on his way to changing the world — we think.
