Synopsis:
Kalahari bushman Xi (played by genuine bushman N!xau) is as
surprised as the rest of his tibe when a Coke bottle, thrown from a passing
plane, lands in the middle of their village. This "gift from the gods" proves to
be a mixed blessing when the tribesmen fight over it and eventually use it for a
weapon. To keep peace in the village, Xi is assigned to take the bottle to "the
end of the earth" (actually a lush valley) and throw it back to the gods.
Meanwhile, back in urbanized South Africa, Kate Thompson (Sandra
Prinsloo) leaves her office job in the city to take a job teaching Kalahari
children; once in the wilderness, she finds herself constantly bumping into
clumsy microbiologist Andrew Steyn (Marius
Weyers). And meanwhile, maniacal Sam Boga (Louw Verwey) is
leading a military coup against the government. How do all these various and
wildly divergent characters fit together? You'll have to see The Gods Must be
Crazy yourself--if you haven't seen it already. This Botswanian comedy/melodrama
was directed by Jamie Uys, who
had helmed dozens of films before Gods and would make many more
afterwards.
Originally slated for limited domestic distribution in 1982, Gods
Must Be Crazy was picked up for American consumption by 20th Century-Fox in
1984. Within a few weeks, "word of mouth" transformed Gods into the
biggest foreign boxoffice hit ever released in the U.S. The 1989 sequel didn't
do quite as well, indicating that perhaps the bloom was off the rose for N!xau
and his confreres. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi [Fandango]
Sinopsis:
En pleno corazón de Kalahari viven los bosquimanos, una apacible tribu que
desconoce la civilización. Un amañana, dos hijos de Xi, uno de sus miembros,
desaparecen al seguir unas huellas de neumático. Mientras su padre los busca, la
doctora Anne Taylor debe dar una conferencia en una ciudad cercana al desierto.
Para distraerse, acepta una excursión por la zona a borde de un diminuto avión. [hoycinema.abc.es]
