Following the success of White Wedding comes another tale of two friends living in very different realities – this time in Limpopo. Paradise Stop confirms that Jann Turner is one of the most ‘out of the box” filmmakers we have.
We originally reviewed it here when it showed at the Durban International Film Festival.
Like Turner’s critically acclaimed White Wedding, Paradise Stop is an almost brutal satire on the contemporary South African layman. Set in a small town in Limpopo the film tells the story of two friends on opposite sides of the law and how they fight to keep their sanity and values intact. It might not sound like a new plot but all things considered, in the barren wasteland of South African comedy its an epic shift towards the left.
