A difficult watch
9 August 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Husband and wife in difficult circumstances on an African farm, which I first took to be in South Africa, but must actually be in Rhodesia, are condemned to a zombie-like existence in Hell because of their perverse monomanias. (Or, it is a feminist tract, and I just don't get it.)

Allegorically all about white ruled Africa. And it rings true all these years later.

Very difficult to watch. Unrelentingly harsh. I'll bet the book is equally hard to read.

Some award-meriting performance. Sun Tsu tells us the the best generals go unrecognized because they achieve victory in sure, quiet ways. Perhaps the best acting is also overlooked.
