Cold War

There are three stars of this film. The two principle characters and the historical period. Both of them are very talented, but they have been set up for depression and a drop into their own shortcomings as people. They are damaged. I had no trouble with the relationship. From the time we meet Zula, we know she has had a harsh upbringing, stabbing her father who was trying to rape her. We have some of that Of Human Bondage stuff going on here. Why does he not relent? Why can't she accept a bit of fame and happiness? It's an ordeal. However, the music and the performances are quite striking.
