FOR ICTP VISITORS, SCIENTISTS, DFT AND SISSA.
ICTP CINEFORUM on Thursday 26 May at 18:30: "TSOTSI"
at the Leonardo Building in the Main Lecture
Hall
Tsotsi is a teenager without feelings, hardened by the tough life of
Johannesburg's townships. One night, after an ordinary day of crime and
cruelty, he accidentally kidnaps a baby while hijacking a car. This
triggers a change in his behavior, arousing a sense of empathy and
humanity and compelling him to face his
brutal nature and the consequences of his actions. A gritty and moving
portrait of angry youth in a world of urban deprivation, marked by
pumping "Kwaito music" - the modern beat of the ghetto.
Director: Gavin Hood UK, South Africa, 2005 (94 min) ZULU, XHOSA,
