Free State (2016)
1/10
A flou representation of interracial love under apartheid
5 October 2023
I only recently came across this film and watched for interest sake.

In Afrikaans the word we would use to describe it is "flou" pronounced flow it simply means weak, but flou means extra weak!

Set in 1979 the film seems to have arrived from a dimension where the political activity of 1976 never happened.

The supposed love story is flimsy and trying to get the security police involved falls just as flat.

If we had encountered such polite police in those times it would have surprised us.

There have been far better portrayals of the immorality act that really hit home.

At times it feels as if all interest in making the film was lost!
