Tsotsi (15)
Jul 15 2006 By Graham Young, Birmingham Mail
THIS year's Oscar-winning best foreign film is a harrowing tale of crime and criminality from South Africa's Soweto township.
The title of Tsotsi is drawn from a generic term for thug or gangster given to the lead character.
Tsotsi, a 19-year-old orphan convincingly played by newcomer Presley Chweneyagae, has no second thoughts for the consequences of his actions until he finds himself alone with a baby.
Kwaito music, South Africa's answer to hip hop, fits the film like a glove.
The DVD extras include deleted scenes and alternative endings.
