Tsotsi means "Thug" in Afrikaans. This is a story of a thug and his droogies, the thug's lost childhood and his chance at redemption. The townships of South Africa, repellent and mean, the separated middleclass in their posh suburbs, and the glimpses of beauty we are shown everywhere in this very difficult place are all combined expertly.
This isn't a fun or easy film, but it is beautiful and engrossing.
