[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

John Malkovich is a womanizing professor in South Africa in for some post-apartheid hijinx when he visits his daughter out in the bush.

Read the book last year or the year before I think, quite good, acclaimed IIRC.

Definitely a book-like movie, with a lot of stuff explored.

Malkovich really knocks it out of the park in his role, most of the cast does in fact, but it's not an easy movie to watch all the same.

Rated CCSW for ChaCha Shouldn't Watch.

Does Malkovich try and do the SA accent?

We've agreed that she won't be watching anything but Rankin & Bass productions for the time being.
