U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha
A vibrant and cinematic re-telling of Bizet's famous opera, set in modern South Africa, and starring the sublime Pauline Malefane as the eponymous cigarette factory worker out to woo straight-laced cop, Sgt Jonghikaya (Andile Tshoni). Translated into the click-punctuated Xhosa language, and combining Bizet's well-known work with traditional African music, this fiery fusion of cultures and art forms won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
