    Yes, I will watch the hell out of this one.

    Westerns are a dime a dozen, but when have you ever seen the genre with a South African twist? Enter Five Fingers for Marseilles, a movie set in the fictional Eastern Cape town of Marseilles.

    The film has an all South African cast, and is one of four local movies that will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) later this month.

    We told you about High Fantasy, one of those four, last week HERE.

    Our friends over at QZ seem pretty excited about it all, and offer this synopsis:

    The film begins with a group of kids called the Five Fingers, who frequently challenge their town’s brutal and oppressive apartheid-era police force…During a showdown with the police, one member of the group, Tau, kills two policemen and flees the town to escape the authorities. He is eventually arrested and sent to prison in Johannesburg.

    When Tau returns to Marseilles twenty years later, he finds a town besieged by gangs. He struggles to carve a new life for himself and calls on the old members of Five Fingers for help.

    Just going on the trailer, this one looks very well put together:

    Here’s hoping it kills at TIFF, because the African Western is a genre I could get behind.
