A very good movie about the violence in Rwanda presented without any violence.The movie made me want to see more of movies from the African subcontinent but I could not find any in the library today.The documentary feel is beautifully present in the movie all through out.
Very real and down-to-earth people.The children acted very well.There was a striking piece of poetry in the movie too.There were many memorable scenes in the movie - the father scolding the son for being away from home for 3 years or so and not fulfilling his responsibilities , the mother saving the food for the son saying "There is no food but there is food for you".
Seemingly a very slow movie, but offers a lot of content - very close to life. Two boys drink together and the first one tells the other one that he can take his cow. When the father learns of the son's plan to murder his friend's father's killer , the father gets angry and beats him black and blue. That scene has been taken with so much originality that you might think it is from a news footage.
The movie has encouraged me to explore on the subject of violence in Rwanda.
