a very nice movie

Most movies made regarding South Africa all centre on the old themes: Apartheid, HIV/AIDS, poverty, the African condition, etc. Bunny Chow, on the other hand, is about absolutely none of these things. It is just a movie, and as in all good movies, theme is subservient to character. What it does show is a few case studies on the new generation of South Africans, who can speak openly about contentious issues such as race in an atmosphere of mutual acceptance an even fascination.

Most importantly, though, is that it is funny. Really funny. Some of the dialogue is absolutely hilarious. Another surprise is the cinematography. Every image and motion bursts with originality. Shot completely in black and white, this comedy has a seriousness that in the end turns Bunny Chow into a pleasure to consider.

Potentially Good Film Ruined by Bouncy Filming

This could have been a very good film, if I had been able to watch it. The hand held camera was very bouncy. From the opening credits I was worried. Several of us watching it felt very nauseous by the end. But we did stay until the end because it was such a charming and interesting film, giving some insight to the young pop culture in South Africa. The black and white film did enhance the artful feeling of it. The acting seemed very authentic. Some of the dialog was a little hard to understand, but a theater full of non-South Africans seemed to find most of it funny. If you get motion sickness at all though, you may seriously consider skipping this film. It's quaint, but not worth the nausea.

An apolitical, realistic and incredibly funny portrayal of life in Johannesburg

nice comedy of four funny guys

Bunny chow is a film released in 2006 which was filmed by John Barker partnered by MTV. Its a nice fim of four friends who went on a journey over a weekend hoping to have a wild time with girls and alcohol. The film has English , afrikaans and tsotsi taal. Bunny chow know thyself follows the often ridiculous weekend journey of four dysfunctional stand up comedians, who embark on a trip to oppikoppi, south africa biggest annual rock festival. The four set out to perform stand up comedy but get a bit more than they bargained. It has like of our kagisi ledigab, Angela chow, Salah sabiti and the David kau.

I love comedy

It's such a story teller movie. Love it. We need more of these movies in the entertainment industry. Been watching it since I was a child. I think that a good movie creates its own world, and that world needn't refer to anything that's real. If it's consistent, if it's entertaining, if it's interesting, it justifies its being there. At the end of the day it's got to be a good movie, it's got to be a funny movie, and it's got to make people think, 'Hey, I couldn't have spent my time any better.' I love going to the movies; I love watching good movie actors. They must know something I don't. Nice.
