No puedo creer que gobiernos, religiones, autoridades y demas se unan para buscar albinos negros y destazarlos para usar sus partes de amuletos. Y lo mas cruel es que la película se queda corta por que la realidad es mas cruda. La maldad humana en su máxima expresión... muy cruda, pero real. See more 01/19/2014 This tale of survival is a surreal journey into the darkest depths of human behavior. White Shadow is based on real circumstances in Eastern Africa in which the demand for the body parts of albino's (for the purpose of which craft & medicine) is so high that a body can fetch up to $100,000. The film that immediately comes to mind after watching White Shadow is Upstream Color though the film also has worldview and tone that brings to mind Jose Saramago's classic novel Blindness. This sounds like high praise and, in a sense, it is. White Shadow is a gorgeously shot film and is littered with moments that elicit a visceral emotional reaction from its audience. Unfortunately, the editing needed to be tightened, the rhythm of the film is uneven in comparison to Upstream. Still, worth seeing if you a fan of abstract cinema... a most memorable viewing experience. See more Read all reviews
