Henry de la Falaise’s careful and caring focus on this culture makes for an absorbing picture...
Once the public’s interest in sideshows petered out and interest in motion pictures rose, the “Zulu” became a stock character in Hollywood comedies and adventure movies.
An off-beat product that will captivate film buffs and historians.
Like the dance itself, Legong is both innocent and seductive, a rich portrait of a South Seas Hindu culture.
The dilettante filmmaker does a fine job catching the tropical beauty and exotic flavor of the island.
