According to Philip-ct, the book is outdated. The same can be said for most "old literature". Forget his "balanced" report. The book is a classic of world literature and rightly so. The film is slight, but entertaining, very well made and has been criminally overlooked internationally- 7 votes at IMDb- (and nationally). South-Africans just don't seem to take well to cinematic subjects from their own back yard. Our "Top Ten" at the box office reads like any other across the world. "Story of an African Farm" made the number 10 spot in it's opening weekend and then dropped off the charts. But its part of the ravages of commodity culture. "Yesterday", a now Oscar nominated film has been seen by a slight few in this country and has a total (as of this entry) of 38 votes at IMDb "EARTH's BIGGEST MOVIE DATABASE". These are thoughtful, well made films and do not deserve such treatment.
