Truly wonderful film that draws you in further as it progresses. Great acting and a marvellous script, which shows powerful emotions between the characters, especially towards the end. Based in 1950 S.A., the racial elements are shown throughout, and this adds to the tensions expressed between the characters. I haven’t seen the original, but must put it to the top of my must see list. If this had been shot in USA, it would have received Oscar nominations. I can’t believe how this slipped under the radar.
