No African films this year. Next time. Insha’Allah.Talking about Tsotsi: I am still trying to figure out how it won an Oscar in the first place. For one, its implausible plots twists should have been enough to disqualify it. Actually I know: Like the American film, Crash, it played straight to Hollywood’s half-baked remedies for race and class inequalities.

Zola really surprised me as an actor, but, yes, Tsotsi was kind of kak.
Thank you. I mentioned to a group of LA blacktors/blacktresses that I thought Tsotsi was a little weak and they about took my heads off.
