The novelist Caryl Ferey, from whom the film has adapted one of his book, is French and specialized in brutal, dark, gloomy serial killer stories taking place in New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina.... Anywhere but France or Europe where cultural, social and political matters lead to collapse of the society. This writer is a great traveler, very accurate in his description, very poignant in his character depiction, and so far only ZULU has been put on screen. And the movie is rather faithful to the book: action, sequences and atmosphere, overall genuine soul of this amazing story. It is a mystical topic, not only a crime, investigation scheme,,and also a study of South Africa social, ethnological situation. It is question of a deep analysis of the political collapse of this country in the decades after the fall of Apartheid. A semi documentary thru the prism of a bloody and dark serial killer tale, which is a pretext to make a deep and desperate description of this country.
