TIFF Highlight: First Look at Horror Satire ‘Mlungu Wam (Good Madam)’ [Images]

Published

The Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness program is already jam-packed with genre films and yet there are even more goodies hiding within the line-up.

One highlight is Mlungu Wam (Good Madam), a horror satire in which residues of apartheid-era domestic servitude confront legacies of colonial land theft.

The film hails from South African auteur Jenna Cato Bass and stars Chumisa Cosa, Nosipho Mtebe, and Kamvalethu Jonas Raziya.

Bloody Disgusting is highlighting the first-ever images, while a longer, more detailed synopsis was found on IMDb:

“An eerie psychological thriller about Tsidi (Chumisa Cosa), who is forced to moved in with her estranged mother, a live-in domestic worker caring obsessively for her catatonic white ‘Madam’ in the wealthy Cape Town suburbs. But as Tsidi tries to heal her family, the ‘spectre’ of ‘Madam’ begins to stir.”

More soon.
