Ever since I started here, I was told that the 1973 South African feature Boesman And Lena was not here in our holdings.

Imagine my surprise a few hours ago when I found a 35mm print of this film tucked away in a corner of one of our vaults.  TeddyR TeddyR



Not a nice picture but a very good film and I'm glad we have it.  Smile

Thanks Sister N: this version is wayy better then the excruciating 1999 version in which all Angela Bassett seems to say to Danny Glover is "Owww mai gahhhd, Booosemen!" Terrible.  Buggedout

I want to see this movie, now.

Are you hiding a copy of the spider pit scene from the 1933 King Kong, too?

It is good indeed.  TeddyR

We only keep South African films, unfortunately.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
