Donald Sutherland, Susan Sarandon and Marlon Brando notwithstanding, A Dry White Season was a box office flop. As the director put it, “That’s the terrible thing about being a pioneer”. I have to admit that I never heard about this film until now. So thank you La Filmoteca Valenciana for enlightening me.
It’s not an easy watch, and why should it be? But watch it, you won’t regret it. Featuring the flugelhorn of Hugh Masekela and songs by Ladysmith Black Mambazo; also starring Zakes Mokae, Thoko Ntshinga, Winston Ntshona, Jürgen Prochnow and Janet Suzman.
