i totally agree with the review by a reviewer of variety that the film be never quite a funny and lively or insightful about the creative process a it premise would seem to warrant . narratively it be messy and the lighting be really problematic . if the film be suppose to be character drive the poor light doesn not enhance the acting and it be sometimes difficult to observe the facial expression of the actor . many non south african will have difficulty in follow the spoken english in the film and some of the local humor will be lose in the process . i watch the film at the cape town world cinema festival last year . comment and reaction to the film range from unwatchable and sloppy to a welcome departure from the film about our painful past . unfortunately bunny chow would not be remember a one of the bright light of the south african new wave and but some of the remarkable film about our apartheid history will indeed be rat among our best in our 110 year old film history . not surprisingly the film disappear from cinema in cape town only two week after it release and from most of the cinema in durban and gauteng . it have clearly limit appeal among south african audience .
