A fine movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2006)

With star performances throughout, I'd recommend this excellent movie -one that works on a number of levels. The film explores how one community isolates itself from the townships in order to preserve a simple lifestyle, maintain its innocence and avoid suffering.
In practice, as the film evolves, it becomes apparent that suffering and pain cannot be avoided and difficulties arise as the deception on which the community is founded begins to be uncovered. The film has a number of poignant scenes where the performances of the two central characters adds great warmth to the film.
I'd highly recommend this film.
