Wish they would have addressed the allegations more
Good looking, informative but a puff piece.
Didn't know anything about Die Antwoord before this. I don't particularly like their music although it does strike as being interesting and unique.
That said the visuals for this documentary are very striking and I'd probably are the main reason that would recommend watching this.
Some people seem to think this is merely a puff piece to offset the allegations made by 'Tokkie'. I don't know anything about that so cannot comment on it further. I would say that 'Ninja' looked particularly 'medicated' during the filming.
On the whole, I found this to be interesting and informative with enough artistic merit to warrant a recommendation.
THEY HAVE A PET LEOPARD!!
Die Antwoord are important and interesting in every way that is important. Without band like this, music would plunge into a putrid sea of mush that is modern pop music ( need I name names )..
What a joy it was to see how they came about with this very HONEST insight into their evolution.
Yes its all marketing and hype but Die Antwoord make it look fresh and interesting. Their sound is very unique, sharp and thought provoking and because they are from Cape Town, South Africa display a naked rawness which this film highlights perfectly.
Bring it on - The Answer indeed.
PS.. the W in their name is pronounced like V.
