Product Description

From Amazon.com
Released in the wake of Hotel Rwanda, In My Country tackles another grim chapter in African history. Set during South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the film is adapted from Antjie Krog's Country of My Skull. Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche (The English Patient) is Anna, an Africaans poet and broadcaster, and Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) is Langston, a Chicago reporter. The two meet during the hearings and take an instant dislike to each other. In due time, however, they come to an understanding and embark on a tentative affair, despite Anna's faith in the hearings and Langston's doubts. John Boorman, whose previous features were the underrated Beyond Rangoon and The Tailor of Panama, coaxes sensitive performances from his leads and sheds welcome light on an important event, but In My Country never catches fire. Boorman regular Brendan Gleeson (The General), however, makes a memorable appearance as a sadistic police chief. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, Mar 3 2006
By A Customer
If you loved "Hotel Rwanda" you will enjoy this too, it's just as good. Set in Appartheid South Africa an American journalist played by Samuel Jackson meets a South African poet played by Juliette Binoche. They and others (journalists, etc. one is played by Charley Boorman of "Long Way Around") go to various villages hearing the atrocities that have befell the local people at the hands of the white Afrikaan police. This movie is eye-opening and very very heart-wrenching. I highly recommend this movie!
