THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY (Theatrical Release Botswana, South Africa 1980)
Ben
Meyers’ rating: 4.8|5.0 Starsìììì
The Gods Must Be Crazy—classic comedy adventure
film set in Africa—is an absolutely ‘don’t miss it film’. It’s laugh-out-loud
funny, really enjoyable, great to watch, an excellent foreign film. African
bushman, Xi (N!xau), is compelled, in order to maintain his tribes’ harmonious
and peaceful lifestyle, to dispose of a Coca-Cola bottle that falls from the
sky into his tribe’s village hunting grounds. Although exceptionally useful,
the object has become evil as everyone in his village covets it and fights over
it. Xi begins a journey to the edge of the earth where he can give the
coca-cola bottle back to the gods and he finds that the world is a much larger
place than he knew and that the coca-cola bottle is more difficult to dispose
of than he ever would have thought. Excellent film. Perfect choice for a
family. Highly entertaining.
