About this product

Product Information

Based on South African playwright Athol Fugard's only novel, TSOTSI is a thrilling, provocative look at life in the ghettos outside present-day Johannesburg. Presley Chweneyagae stars as the title character, a teenager with a killer stare who lives alone in a ramshackle room in a poor shantytown, where he pulls off petty crimes with the help of three compatriots Boston (Mothusi Magano), Butcher (Zenzo Ngqobe), and Aap (Kenneth Nkosi). But after they stab a man to death on the subway and Tsotsi (which means thug or gangster) beats up Boston for trying to find out about his past, Tsotsi runs off to a wealthy section of the city, shoots a woman, and steals her car. Only later does he discover that there is a baby in the back seat and decides to keep it for himself. As Tsotsi finally does look back at his own childhood, he tries to take care of the infant, carrying it around in a paper bag and forcing a young mother, Miriam (Terry Pheto), to breastfeed it at gunpoint. At this point, writer-director Gavin Hood could have opted for trite sentimentality, but instead he delves deeper into Tsotsi's psyche, as the young man might have already gone too far to turn back now. TSOTSI is a pulsating, electrifying film propelled by Chweneyagae's powerful, mesmerising performance. The pounding soundtrack features popular local Kwaito music by Zola, who also plays crimelord Fela in the film. Winner of the 2006 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, 'TSOTSI will rank as one of the best films ever to come out of South Africa', as Fugard himself said.

Item more or less as described, not particularly well packaged, resulting in some damage and warping to the box, presumably in transit. No instructions included unfortunately. Item seems to have been exposed to damp, as the box and game board are slightly floppy. Displays well after being cleaned and repaired. Overall I am happy with the purchase. Many thanks for the opportunity to buy this set for a reasonable price.

    Worth a watch..

    In this world... redemption just comes once. An Academy Award-winning film about a gritty young gang leader named Tsotsi who lives on the dangerous and crime-ridden streets of Johannesburg, South Africa. This deeply affecting film traces six days in Tsotsi's life in which he ends up caring for a baby he accidentally kidnaps during a car jacking. With the baby's welfare at stake, Tsotsi is compelled to confront his own brutal nature and face the consequences of his actions, if he ever wishes to find redemption in his life.... This riveting drama of the triumph of love over rage is based on the acclaimed book by author and playwright Athol Fugard, winner of the 2006 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

    Must see film, very true to life

    This is a brilliant film about the life of a young black South African boy living in Soweto, South Africa. It tells his story over six days of crime, car jacking and murder. It all goes wrong for him when he ends up with a baby in the car he has just hijacked. It is a very riveting film, and to me, a South Arican, very true to life of what goes on in the life a young black South African trying to get money to live. Fantastic acting by all, a very heart rendering film. The special features are great as well, there is a short film by the writer and director Gavin Hood and gives his commentary about the film. The commentary on all the special features are excellent and well explained. A really incredible and brilliant Academy Award winnin film, well worth watching.

    tsotsi film review

    i had heard a lot about the film but missed it at the cinema. i have visited theslum area of niarobi and seen how dehumanising life can be there and the author of the book on which the film is based is highly respected. i needed some dvds to take on holiday and this was the one i enjoyed most..bad language appearts to be an authentic requirement.
