Title: Archive discoveries
Post by: Trevor on December 22, 2014, 07:46:01 AM
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.
