...slowly as possible so as not to cause panic; in this tightly knit society the slaughter was so intimate--neighbors killing neighbors--that it will be impossible to hide. So far, men like Jonasi Ruziga seem content to let loved ones go unavenged a while longer, hoping their restless ghosts are willing to wait as Rwanda struggles to rebuild from the ashes of genocide...
Clinton, a restless man defined by his energy and appetites, concludes that the only constant about life today is its unremitting motion. For his generation even the revolutions came from within and aren't over yet--civil rights, sexual freedom and now the one under way, driven by silicon and imagination.

As a relaxed murder mystery, a view of smalltown politics, and a not at all taxing study in intergenerational relations, the movie is well worth a look and should not be left in the dust of its bigger-footed, ham-handed cousins the blockbusters. In short, the movie's pace...
