20KIm Todestrakt: Directed by Oliver Schmitz. With Andrea Riseborough, Steve Coogan, Inge Beckmann, Deon Lotz. A lawyer takes on a case of a prison guard in South Africa who is traumatized by the executions he’s witnessed.
“Very similar to his work on Philomena. A brilliant narrative investigating a mass shooting and the tortured soul on trial. Much more that a legal drama. Its a dark journey into a barbaric (and hopefully much remedied) prison system in South Africa.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSteve Coogan has carved himself a specialty with these films. He brings intensity and brilliant deduction into this character and his scenes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso of note is that this appears to be from first time writer and a first time director. Very pleasant surprise that they are so good at delivering a moving subject in their first venture to attract the talented Mr. Coogan.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe young murderer is also very well cast and I can expect other large roles in his future.”
