President Bashir: We came to power we had a clear vision about the problems facing the country. Therefore we had a clear vision of how to manage this country with its immense problems, the ones you mentioned, and we continue to face new problems. We have programs, qualified personnel, and a strong and solid internal organization that is able to face and address different issues...
Even more impressive is the way this feature-film novice director sells his vision of Johannesburg as a dusty sump hole, a place of sapping heat and blinding glare. The creatures aren't caressed with the moody lighting of most monster films; by sticking them out in the sun, Blomkamp demystifies them and shows off their CGI sophistication. (Virtually all the aliens were created digitally; he used very few puppets.)

These authors have not allowed the cheery, glossed-over tourist vision to take hold, but have always seen a darker side of the city: a once powerful trade and cultural capital transformed into a sinking, aesthetic skeleton. For Balzac, it was the perfect frame for a Prince with only a title and no wealth; for Mann, it allowed for the exploration...
