Triomf
2008, Michael RAEBURN, 1h 58m
Dark humour and brutal reality define this fast-paced drama.
South Africa, March 1994: The same day as the first free elections, Lambert Benade turns 21 and his uncle Treppie promises to get him a gorgeous girl as a present. In parallel with the election narrative we meet other characters from the Triomf neighbourhood in the outskirts of Johannesburg, an area with a growing white underclass. Absurd situations and sharp performances collide in a drama that was well received in Cannes last year, and has been screened at a number of film festivals since. redOriginal title Triomf
