What is notable about this movie is not the story, but the way the movie is filmed. This movie has the appearance of an American western and the main character, Kgoto, could have easily been played by Clint Eastwood as Angel Eyes. Also, the movie is short on dialog, and filmed in black-and-white, giving the movie a film noir quality. The metaphysical aspect of the story is subsumed by the sheer magnificence of the cinematography which is first-rate. It's too bad that this story was not further developed into a feature-length movie because it probably would have been great. The actors were wonderful and were able to project a wide range of emotions without uttering a word. The strong, silent American western hero lives in South African cinema.
