The Gods Must Be Crazy

South Africa

Delightful revisiting of the Mack Sennett-like comedies of the 1920's. Slapstick, pratfalls, speeded-up car scenes (every one!). To this classic mix was added some funny/ironic voiceover giving us an idealized take on Kalahari Bushmen culture.

This film became a worldwide hit when it was released in the 80's and I was pleased to see that it had lost none of its charm.
