Content:
The uncompromising power of Ingrid Jonker's poetry runs like a pulsing vein through "Black Butterflies," a 1960s-set drama whose several strong points include the angry intensity of Carice van Houten's fearless perf. Highly intelligent, brilliantly thesped English-language entry from Dutch helmer Paula van der Oest ("Zus and Zo") never entirely escapes the curse of the hindsight-driven biopic, particularly with the "South African Sylvia Plath" analogy hanging over its heroine's doomed head. Nevertheless, arthouse prospects loom large for this sexy, highbrow, anti-apartheid period piece. (Ronny Scheib, Variety)
Content:
She searched for a home, she searched for love. Confronted by Apartheid and a father who was Minister of censorship. With men like Jack Cope and Andre Brink she found much love, but no home. In his first speech to the South African Parliament Nelson Mandela read her poem "The Dead Child of Nyanga" and addresses her as one of the finest poets of South Africa. (IMDb)
