Here is another interesting one his time with no VJ. The movie as described on the packaging is really about forbidden love or at least the love that those with less means seek in the presence of others who are better placed financially. But there is more to this film. I really liked the story telling tone that the film has with Ashraf Ssemwogerere doing his part very well with well chose phrases of the Ganda language. He also makes an appearance in the movie a little like Stan Lee used to like to do in the Marvel Movies. Mr. Ssemwogerere if you will remember once wrote some challenging theatrical pieces about government and leadership which did not go down well. The next few days for him were frightening. We read in the daily about how he had dissapeared and then appeared again mysteriously.
Anyway we have Michael Kasaija and Natasha Sinayobye playing besides each other as love interests. It is interesting to see how well they jump into these roles when they are clearly city raised. They are both amazing dancers and ofcourse are well known by the entertainment community for their contribution to the industry both locally and internationally. Fiona Birungi also plays her role well and captures the story of so many women who are caught up in the struggle to survive in challenging environments often at the mercy of wealth men. Ah but the writer has a lot more under his belt and if you think that all that is available in this piece is a simple love story, brace yourself for more. Look out for an amazing performance by Raymond Rushabo who also featured in a recent and well made production called Leilah. I think one of the other refreshing things about this movie is the idea that the ‘score’ was created by an international artist…or at least more than one. APass and Kenneth Mugabi if i am not wrong.
