BOSEMAN AND LENA (2000) **1/2 Danny Glover and Angela Bassett give excellent performances in
this adaptation of Athol Fugard's play about a hard-pressed upon
South African married couple sharing hardships and personal
demons after being ousted to the desert from their shantytown
coming to terms with their desperate (and disparate) situations.
Slow-moving and repetitive but still memorable especially for
Bassett's compassionate turn. The last film by well-respected director John Berry.
