CGiii Comment
Just like the book...this is intense and harrowing...
Malkovich is sublime, strident...and, demonic.
As to being enjoyable...it can't possibly be - but, it is an incredibly painful journey - this just has to be seen.

The(ir) Blurb...
Cape Town professor David Lurie blatantly refuses to defend himself for an affair with a colored student whom he gave a passing grade for an exam she didn't even attend. Dismissed, he moves to his daughter Lucy's farm, which she runs under most disadvantaged terms, favoring the black locals. Yet rowdies, unprovoked, violently rob and abuse them both. Lucy refuses to fight back, unlike David, who is surprised by his own altruistic potential.
