Review of Zulu Dawn (1979) by Mike M — 16 Dec 2008
The prequel to Zulu (Zulu Dawn) is not as delicately constructed or visually composed as the original film. The cinematography was largely uninspiring throughout, mostly due to viewing the film on a god awful cropped re- mastered DVD. Allot of the (i'd imagine) beautiful, cinemascoped, visual compositions are lost.
The heart of the film though is Bob Hoskins and the legendary Peter O'Toole, who both give this unflinching look into an embarrassing British defeat a genuine depth. Its obvious parallels with the Vietnam war ad to its power.
