Technically this film is an absolute triumph. Well directed , well edited and with some outstanding cinematography like the scene where the Dust Devil is in the bathroom looking into the mirror then suddenly the bathroom fades to black except for the illuminated mirror that begins to move further and further away from the camara , or the scene at the end where the South African Defence Force convoy slowly passes through the heat haze in the distance . I`m slightly surprised that the cinematography wasn`t nominated for anything at the more prestigious award ceremonies . Mind you that maybe because DUST DEVIL is flawed in some other ways. I can`t honestly say it`s all that well acted for instance , but its biggest problem is Richard Stanley`s unfocused script , in some parts it`s serial killer material , then becomes part western , then gets all mystical and most confusing of all tries to be a political allegory with lines like " Do you believe in God South Africa ? Only God can save you now " which left me puzzled as to the point it`s trying to make
