So I just got back from watching Jerusalema at Ster Kinekor in The Zone. Fuck me, what a film. The story was great, the acting was inspired, and the production is as good as anything you’ve seen.

I feel as a South African I should be talking about what an important film this is, and that we should all see it to understand what happens just a few kilometers from where we live – but bolloks to that. Sure it’s an eye-opener, but that’s not why you should watch it. You should watch it because it’s simply an epic film and a really great way to spend a few hours (the Isuzu Bakkie scene will have you in fits).

You’ll leave proud that it was made here, and yeah, a wee bit freaked out too…!
