My Black Little Heart

About This Movie

My Black Little Heart is a gritty exploration of urban life that leans heavily on its atmospheric setting in Durban. The film intertwines the rawness of the beachfront’s seedy underbelly with unsettling elements of Nigerian voodoo, creating a unique blend of realities. You really get immersed in the haze of it all, with a young girl caught in this liminal space, navigating through a world that feels both familiar and nightmarish. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost hypnotic, drawing you deeper into its layers of despair and longing. The performances carry a heavy weight, each character navigating their fate against the backdrop of decaying flats and the relentless pull of the coast. It’s not your typical drama, more like a haunting experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
