The Forgiveness of Blood: DVD Review
Rating: PG
Released by Madman Home Entertainment
Blood feud may not be
something many of us know too much about, but in some countries it's a way of
life.
Joshua Marton directs this story about honour and how 2 teens from the
same family are caught up in one such feud after their father and friend kill a
neighbour over a land access issue.
However, the eldest boy Nik doesn't realise his leaving the house
after the feud is invoked could result in his death.
Angry at the confines of the past ruining his life,he tries to find a
way out-and it's one which could see him forced to leave his life behind.
Sensationally performed by two unknown young actors,this drama is slow
burning and powerful from beginning to end;with a fascinating story sensitively
handled by an excellent director, it's truly stand out stuff which sees
innocence shattered by choices, cultures and obligations imposed on family
bonds by those who're no longer around.
Highly recommended and one of the best dramas on show this year -
well, so far anyway.
