INXEBA (THE WOUND)

Watchable. First of all, Africa deserves better cinematography, here it looks terribly dull. Secondly, the story which at first focuses on the clash or modern and traditional life in South
Africa, where homosexuality is just one of the differences (non-existent or at least not-revealed in villages, acceptable in cities), soon turns very gay, with this subplot being simplistic. Set in mountains - hardly shown apart from the ending - rather mentioned in conversations for a bigger part of the film. An inapt remake of "Brokeback Mountain" unashamedly pitched as an Oscar candidate.
