Plot

A colonial magistrate at a frontier outpost faces a crisis of conscience when an army colonel arrives to interrogate locals.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ciro Guerra's adaptation of J. M. Coetzee's novel is austere and bleak, with Mark Rylance and Johnny Depp.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
