Perfection through Reflection
By a customer from London , 31 May 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
What a wonderfully assured peice of film making. Reminiscent of Kieslowski at the height of his powers, it explores the themes of loss, revenge and reconciliation. The narrative is visual and the pace forces you to examine your own attitude to the complex issues raised. I wish all films could be of this calibre. No hesitation in giving this 5 stars - I would give it 6 if I could.- Was this review helpful to you?

(4)sombre view of revenge and reconciliation
By itstinks (681 reviews) from North of Reading , 06 Oct 2009How do you cope with knowing that the murderer of your father is walking free and been made exempt from any further prosecution after a recent war torn history. That is the question faced in this movie in a fairly sombre and reasoned manner but without any melodramatic overtones that would have been indulged in by the majority of film makers.- Was this review helpful to you?

miserable
By a customer from gloucester , 30 Jan 2009I'll try to recall my previous thoughts.
relentless study of character, revenge, human foibles, infatuation, modernity, market forces, African culture, religion, fable, consciousness, but well filmed in the African context. Some scenes are laboured, and at times the acting is not that good. but good.- Was this review helpful to you?

A dry season for acting
By a customer from Warwick , 16 Mar 2008A very disappointing viewing experience to say the least. The poor standard of acting really doesn’t help the meandering pace of this story. I understand that this film was commissioned by the New Crowned Hope Festival to commemorate the 250th birthday of Mozart. The themes of revenge and reconciliation run clearly throughout the film, inspired by Mozart's La clemenza di Tito. Whilst the aims of this production are virtuous, I still don’t understand how Darratt won the Grand Special Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival (perhaps it was a quiet year)? Overall, I was left with the feeling that an opportunity had been missed.- Was this review helpful to you?
