Co., Everett, WA Lines: 17 I saw "The Gods Must Be Crazy" in Vancouver BC on Labor Day weekend, after it having been recommended by friends who had seen it there. I also recall it being touted in net.movies some time before that. The distribution has been rather spotty (maybe because it's South African?), but it has at last reached Seattle. It's a wonderful movie, one of the most unpretentious films I've seen in a long time, a bit reminiscent of Jacques Tati or Buster Keaton films along with charming dialogue. It begins like a documentary on the Bushmen in the Kalahari, then begins weaving three (or so) stories together around an epic journey by one of the Bushmen into civilization. I'll restrain myself from telling more, and just give it four (or five, if the scale allows) stars. -- Dave Bartley UUCP: {decvax,ihnp4}!uw-beaver!
