What Tsotsi Is About
A gang leader in a settlement outside Johannesburg finds a baby on the back seat of a car he has stolen. He does not put the baby back. The film does not make the change easy; his attempts to care for the child are clumsy and dangerous, and the narrative shows that without prettifying it. His past is given not in flashback but in single short images. Gavin Hood wrote and directed, adapting Athol Fugard's novel. It won the foreign language film Oscar. A real warning: there is gun violence, a killing, and scenes in which the baby is neglected. The ending is left open.
