In Southern Rhodesia in the 1940s, city-dweller Mary marries farmer Dick Turner and is plucked from the comforts of her cosmopolitan life and forced to live on his unsuccessful farm. Mary slowly goes insane and has a sexual affair with her black servant, Moses. When the affair is discovered, Mary asks Moses to leave the farm, but he returns and murders her.

I’m waiting for my certificate for watching a film that has less than 5 reviews and 30 members on the app! Call me!
But about the movie... it’s very fine. Aggressively fine, actually. Pretty standard adaptation of a novel that shouldn’t be adapted. Nothing to see here.
