Contemplating district 9.
South Africa is a land with substantial ‘visual interest’, and it’s often, as I have previously mentioned, not where you would expect to find it.
Take DISTRICT 9 for example, and the unlikely yet complex visual backdrop to the film.
10/10 for originality and juxtapositioning of ideas.
The film, along with a few others recently set in South Africa (disgrace, invictus..), has been on my ‘watch-list’ since it’s release, and, it is brilliantly original. The political and social references continue to re-play long after the last scene…watch it; even if sci-fi is not your thing.
