Review of The World Unseen (2007) by Stanislav O — 02 Jul 2009

I had to fight the urge to give this film a better rating. It would be a nice story about getting to know oneself, but since this was about situation in South Africa during apartheid I think it was slightly inappropriate to use lesbian relationship between two beautiful protagonists and only scratch the surface of real problems of that time. Apart from that I loved tension that built up from time to time, and even a small glimpse of those times was unbearable for me somehow. I really can't imagine people living like that, separated.

Trivia: This is Lisa Ray's second film in which she plays a lesbian.
