An honest but flawed friends dvd attempt by young South African director Elaine ally mcbeal dvd set Proctor to examine the last days of South Africa's Apartheid andromeda dvd regime as observed and defined by the friendship of bones dvd three young women from different ethnic backgrounds. Sophie is boston legal dvd the anglo activist, apparently propelled into terrorism buffy dvd against a racist system that callously and indiscriminately brutalizes the Blacks she ghost whisper dvd has grown up with. Aninka doctor who dvd is an Afrikaner farm girl, at first dismayed by Sophie's greys anatomy dvd activism but then gradually coming to an understanding of the events unfolding around her lost dvd and the realization that her life will never be the same as Apartheid stutters to its inevitable and violent the apprentice dvd end. And Thoko, an educated black women whose friendship with Sophie and Aninka has caused her king of queens dvd set to lose touch with a sense of her destiny, until the sudden loss of her job and the arrival of her mother reawaken in her what it really means to be a Black woman in White South Africa. To me, her chummy friendship with middleclass white women strains credibility. In fact, the L word dvds collective friendship of the three women seems unlikely; they are poles apart and I for one would imagine their relationship would have been threatened long before the goings-on around the time of Mandela's release. The plot is a bit muddled and the characters unconvincingly drawn. Kerry Fox, who plays Sophie, is a journeyman actress capable of solid transformers dvd performances, but here her acting is overwrought and it can only be assumed that Proctor is responsible. It's not a good script, lacking sharp dialogue and overflowing with clichéd characters. Naturally, all the Blacks are saintly and most of the Whites are evil or impotent. The most believable character is Aninka's new husband, who sees through Sophie's shallowness pretty quickly and tries to steer his wife's life away from the danger of associating with a loose cannon like Sophie. I must say the character of Sophie is such a neurotic flibbertigibbet that it's almost impossible to believe any Black freedom organization would send her to buy bread let alone carry out a terrorist act. Still, it's a film worth watching and maybe Proctor is a director worth following in the future.
