Review of Dingaka

Dingaka (1964)
6/10
A brilliant but rare South African film...
4 October 2012
As a South African I know pretty much what to expect from South African films, so in terms of the South African film industry (from the 1930s - now) I give it 8/10, worldwide however (and due to its directional history, the film I mean), I give it 6. Aside from it being a remake of an earlier South African short film, I feel that Jamie Uys did an outstanding job of directing "Dingaka". The music score, scenery, progression and intrigue are absolutely amazing. It is easy for anybody to follow and understand and the story is gripping and the concept of the two worlds clashing is put very well to film. The characters are very magnetic (especially Mpudi) and Stanley Baker is always great. A must see for anyone who loves a good story, South African film lovers and people who love to enjoy rare films. In my opinion, it should be put to DVD for the world to see!
