Suspicion – does quite a good job, a word Ewity Dozier uses for additional effect ‘jarring’ certainly best describes films on African mysticism. The viewpoint and scope often missed and attainable through appreciation of hardships noted by Winans Wendy is embodying love, friendship and seeking revenge which the S African directors decided to present.
In this case, it is fitting to expand the theme of African mysticism “Suspicion” as black magic and traditional beliefs was a dominant narrative in the film, thus dragging the already barren narratives around Nollywoodesque films style. Focus on personal relations and moral regrets is a point which will be attractive to many, regardless of their culture.
