I’m old enough to bleed, I’m old enough to breed, I’m old enough to crack a brick in your teeth while you sleep.
Well I learned something today; Die Antwoord is a “rap-rave” group from Cape Town, South Africa who recently teamed up with writer/director Harmony Korine (Kids, Gummo). They’ve produced a heart-warming short film, Umshini Wam.
Korine’s sixteen-minute short brings the audience to the fringes of society where Ninja and Yo Landi of Die Antwoord star as wheelchair-bound gangsters. Residing in the outskirts of civilization, Ninja and Yo Landi play trigger-happy, gun-toting misfits who bond throughout the film by sharing cartoonishly huge joints, sticking-up business owners, and seeking refuge and shelter in the woods. It is a tale of love and the struggle for survival.
Watch the movie below, and here is a music video from Die Antwoord for ‘Ritch Bitch’ (more…)
