Represent Review: Bunny Chow
Thanks to Wena a hot up-and-coming film maker for her impromptu review of the movie Bunny Chow. What are your thoughts on the film readers? My take on Bunny Chow Finally a South African movie about nothing. No big issues. No politics. No HIV/Aids. No morals. Just small talk, alcohol, drugs and sex that equate to boys being bad and girls being sad. It was an extraordinary experience seeing a new generation of story-tellers who don’t give damn about issues. Its funny how refreshing that can be. The plot-line follows no real story and the dialogue is far from tight. It all risks flat-lining over 90 minutes, however a few truly hilarious typical South African moments save the day. The dudes are funny, they’re comedians. The film is shot in back and white with interesting angles and backdrops, but its a great pity that the characters who we really need to see were obscured in darkness for most of the film. The film has a look and its definitely the ‘retro low budget, no light, bad sound’ look. As a bonus it sports a pumping sound track and tons of corporate logos at the end of the credits. So if you’re into Bunny Chow, this is your movie, dude. On a serous note. Do see the movie with chow. Ciao and lots of love ...
