South Africa’s most prolific filmmaker
Phillip Altbeker, Business Day
With a career that spans more than 30 years, Darrell James Roodt, whose Little One will be released on Friday, must rank as South Africa’s most prolific filmmaker.
But it is not just the quantity of his movies – many of which have been made for overseas TV – that matters; it is, rather, his willingness to tackle the issues that have defined the past three decades, often in defiance of the governments of the time, that makes him an important figure in the local industry.
A Place for Weeping (1986), for example, dealt with a crime the police were more intent on covering up than they were on solving a murder with interracial implications.
