Tsotsi is an excellent film, from start to finish. This is the first film in a very long time to elicit a number of emotional responses in me. Anger, joy, hope, forgiveness and empathy, are just a few. The storyline, plot, acting, music, cinematography were all top notch. The characters were all very believable- even the comedic relief. I was especially impressed with the manner in which the film was lit. There was something approaching beautiful of the slums, and the shots-in particular, the long views- were- breathtaking, a sort of elegant ugliness. This movie is brutal but believable, worth watching and well recommended.
