This is a film that has the power to take the viewer to a whole new world, with an involving, poignant screenplay and solid direction by Link. The cinematography is of a standard that can only be described as par excellence; the film's photography exquisitely captures not only the rural landscape but the insides of buildings too it is hard to find words for such superb cinematography. The pseudo-indigenous music score is excellent too, bringing one into the spirit of Kenya. The content of the film is full of so many ideas that one can extract to the point that it is perhaps too complex a film, but that hardly mars this unforgettable movie experience. The film justly won the 2002 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
