Product: Nowhere in Africa (2003)
Rating: 5.0
An extraordinary "sleeper"
"Nowhere in Africa" succeeds on a number of levels: the story of an immigrant family adapting to a new home, a respectful and non-judgemental portrayal of traditional African rural life, a young woman's coming of age story, a love story involving a married couple and the Holocaust, viewed by people who escaped Germany but left family behind. Exceptional in each of these areas, and well-acted, this is a story well worth telling about our differences and our common ground, and told very very well. One of the best films I've seen in the last ten years. Don't miss it.
