March 29th, 2006

Tagline : Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader (Tsotsi).
Now here is a beautiful movie : Tsotsi. This movie won the Oscar for best foreign film, and even though that isn’t a guarantee for anything, in this case it is well deserved. The story might be on the edge [...]

Rumor Has It… (5/10)
