Meaning of "TILAI"
Tue, 27 May 1997 12:56:39 -0600
According to the IMDB and contemporary reviews, "Tilai" means "The Law."
I don't know how exact the translation might be, though. I've thought that,
in context, the French title "La Lumiere" is a better name for Cisse's
YEELEN than the American title, BRIGHTNESS.
