Hard to imagine that this was done by two young filmmakers fresh out of film school in Germany. It's a stunning verite film marked by an earthy, hard-earned poeticism, a piercing sense of place, and indelible characters in Lucky and Bongani. The film's narrative thread keeps the viewer involved throughout, but it's the full-on access here to the brothers and their unfolding story that is nothing short of miraculous. There's not a whiff of any self-consciousness about any of the scenes, although it's assembled with tremendous artistry. A breath of fresh air through and through -- this is a movie to be seen, one of the great docs of 2010.
