Re-imagined in the modern world of South African pool halls, bars, courtyards and barracks U-Carmen tells the story of a cigarette factory-worker, Carmen, (Malefane) and her doomed love affair with a police sergeant. As the two grow more emotionally connected, their relationship escalates violently, culminating in a tragic conclusion of revenge and madness.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful
I loved this movie and the acting, my only problem is tha Amazon tells us the movie is in English and it's not. Stop fooling the customers. If fact Amazon needs to change all the other foreign films thay say are in English and are not. Customer beware.

One of the best movies I've ever seen!
If you like the music from the opera Carmen you will love seeing it sung in a contemporary setting! I rarely buy movie DVD's but this one is wonderful!

Developed Africa of G. Bizet
Drug smuggler Carmen cannot choose between her beaus-policemen and pays with her life for such a deed at a landscape of post-apartheid South Africa, under tunes of immortal "Carmen" by Georges Bizet.

It is a funny educative entertaining movie of modern independent post-"England-developed" Africa.
