About this product

Product Information

Noted filmmaker John Boorman (DELIVERANCE, THE GENERAL, THE TAILOR OF PANAMA) addresses the complex emotional scars leftover from Apartheid in South Africa in IN MY COUNTRY. The events of the film take place during hearings conducted in 1996 by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The purpose of the hearings was to shed light on the unfortunate atrocities committed during the time of persecution. Anna Malan (Juliette Binoche) is a native Afrikaner poet whose is covering the hearings for state radio. During the proceedings, she meets Langston Whitfield (Samuel L. Jackson) an American covering the matter for the Washington Post. Initially, the two don't get along. He thinks she shares collective guilt for cruelty that was carried out; she thinks he's a stubborn and ignorant American. Getting past those unfounded first impressions, the two fall in love.Adapted from author Antjie Krog's memoirs, COUNTRY OF MY SKULL, the film features strong performances from both leads and by Brendan Gleeson in a supporting role as Colonel De Jager. IN MY COUNTRY asks an intriguing question about who should take the blame for what happened--the leaders, the soldiers, or the people who watched it happen and never protested.

Great packaging, fast shipping. Although the item was in very good condition, the disc itself was unreadable for my console. After writing about this to the seller, a quick response in favour of a full refund was given. Very courteous and professional seller. Very happy with this ending. B+

  • In My Country

    Not a "feel-good" kinda movie but an extremely important one. How do you rebuild a nation after apartheid, racism, hatred and all the many unspeakable crimes that took place during South Africa's long history? Nelson Mandela's "confess and receive forgiveness" was hard, especially for those who had been wronged yet it was necessary in order heal the nation and move it into the future. Stellar preformances by Juliet Binoche. She shines as does Samuel L. Jackson. I don't own a large collection of DVDs, but this is one of the movies that I felt I needed to own because I will return to it many times in the future. The lessons we can learn through it would serve us well if we could just learn them.
