Review of Disgrace (2008) by E W — 30 Jun 2009
This is an excellent film. It is a contemporary tale about control and sexuality in the lives of an urban disgraced academic who moves to live with his daughter in rural South Africa. John Malkovitch finds his amoral affair with a reluctant student progresses towards nemesis as his daughter's fragile farm existence is irrevocably altered by violence from her disposessed African neighbours.
The acting, scenery and plot are of a very high standard. This would only be a date movie if your date is thoughtful & perceptive but then you could find you had a lot to talk about afterwards. Highly recommended and my congratulations to all involved.
