 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hyenas (Hyènes, in French) is a Senegalese film directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty that got released in 1992 (twenty years after the director's first feature film). It's an adaptation of Friedrich Dürrenmatt's The Visit, with added criticism of neocolonialism and consumerism in Senegal.Dramaan Drameh is a very well-liked shopkeeper in the town of Colobane, which is facing bankruptcy after the closure of the town's factories. One day, a very rich lady called Linguère Ramatou comes to the town and promises to give them all of her riches in exchange for one thing: Dramaan Drameh's life.

 Adapted Out: Claire's seventh husband. It's implied her counterpart, Linguère, never got married after dating Dramaan.

 Blatant Lies: The Chief of Police and the Mayor insist they're not going to accept Linguère's offer, while sporting brand new shoes, planning to rebuild the city hall (which was almost seized in the start) and buying loads of expensive home appliances.

 Animal Motif: Hyenas, of course. They represent the people of the village who soon start to prey on Dramaan's (living) corpse after Linguère's proposal.

 An Arm and a Leg: The Lady has only one of her legs and one of her hands, using prosthetics to replace them. She says it's the result of a plane crash.
