Tsotse

Posted on February 3, 2007December 29, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “Tsotse,” 3 March 2007 (2005), DVD.    This Oscar-winner (2005 Best Foreign Film) is in Sosha. Set in the townships of Johannesburg, it is a relentlessly painful look at the degradation of David, nee Tsotsi (thug). Abused as a boy by his brutal father and forced to desert his mother as she dies of AIDS, he runs away to the streets and becomes a true sociopath. He attacks friends, kills on a whim, robs, plunders all until he has to confront responsibility for a baby in the car he’s jacked. A good, thoughtful, and very interesting film. Glad we saw it!.
