Wild Is the Wind

The only reason for the 1 star short is the scoring. Being a South African growing up pre and pos apartheid and a lover of music. There were alot more controversial and fitting songs released. However knowing the industry and copyright issues I get it. Do look forward to seeing more from Fabian. The cinematography was great. The story line is relevant and relatable. Think alot of these other reviews would've had a different perspective if it was some holiwood greats starring in it. But this has Oscar potential written all over it. Loved the story line. Would love to do the scoring for his next movie.

African crime/narc/thriller movies that includes corrupt cop or maybe they say kopjes, spinning around in the transvaal region i guess, usually brings you into quite some realistic stuff, harsh and tough they act in this movie, that have the racial balance as a meter of issuance. They are usually wellmade and thourough in their making, but this one slips a bit on, maybe not the main cast, the support and extras that fills the frame. It feels instructive behind the camera, and the lack of heartfelt acting shines through. It maybe amateur issues or just directional fits of action. But youll get thrill for your money even if they come in a rand-omized order, so a small recommend from the grumpy old man.
