'The Gods must be crazy 2' is another South African gem, made in a time when it wasn't influenced by politics. This was pure storytelling at its best.
Following on the huge success of 'The Gods must be crazy', Jamie Uys brings us yet another hysterically funny adventure. The film also offers stunning views of the amazing South African wildlife, with its vast open fields and desert. To a certain extent, this can also be viewed as a humoristic documentary.
The humor is based on the misadventures of several people, who - by chance - affect the others through the decisions they make. It is seriously funny, and not slapstick at all. Although by no means professional actors, the real life Bushmen N! Xau, Xiri, and Xisa deliver fantastic performances, and they're all amusing in their own right. I also thoroughly enjoyed Hans Strydom as Dr Stephen Marshall, and Lena Farugia as Dr Ann Taylor, and the chemistry between them.
Set in the Kalahari desert, the film features good cinematography, camerawork and visuals. This was fascinating. There truly never is a dull moment. The 'Gods must be crazy' movies are unique and unlike any comedy you'll ever see. It's incredible to see what Jamie Uys accomplished with these movies. This was fabulous!
Would I watch it again? Definitely!
