Français
Le nouveau film du réalisateur sud-africain et nigérian Akin Omotoso sort en salles ce 4 septembre, soit deux semaines plus tôt que la date prévue.
Cette comédie romantique suit Moratiwa Vokwana (jouée par Nomzamo Mbatha), une écrivain en devenir, qui possède une librairie qu’elle gère au coeur de Johannesburg. La librairie, comme sa vie amoureuse, ne connait pas le succès. Tout va changer quand elle rencontre et tombe amoureuse du plus improbable candidat au monde, Nat (interprété par Maps ‘Masego’ Maponyane).
Nat est un mannequin homme qui n’a jamais lu de livre de sa vie et qui désespère d’être aimé pour ses idées et pas pour son corps. Malgré les obstacles, les deux vont développer une romance, mais va-t-elle durer ?
Le réalisateur Akin Omotoso s’est entouré d’acteurs de choc : Nomzamo Mbatha, Maps’Masego’ Maponyane, Kagiso Lediga, Thomas Gumede, Thembi Seete, Thishiwe Ziqubu.
La bande annonce est très alléchante, elle est en ligne (sous-titrée en anglais), voir plus bas.

The trailer for Rififi Picture’s new film « Tell Me Sweet Something, » directed by the award-winning Akin Omotoso has just been released.
From the team that brought you the Box Office hit « Material, » « Tell Me Sweet Something » is produced by Akin Omotoso, Robbie Thorpe and Ronnie Apteker.
Boasting a star-studded cast, « Tell Me Sweet Something » stars Nomzamo Mbatha, Maps Maponyane, Thishiwe Ziqubu, Kagiso Lediga, Thomas Gumede, Thembi Seete and Mandisa Bardill. The film was inspired by Omotoso’s love of love songs, the film Love Jones and his desire to tell a story that celebrates love in the city he loves- Johannesburg.
« Tell Me Sweet Something » tells the story of Moratiwa (Mbatha): an aspiring novelist with writer’s block. She hasn’t had much luck with love ever since her ex-boyfriend Norman went out to buy milk and never came back. Tired of having a recluse as a best friend, Tashaka (Ziqubu) convinces her to party up a storm at a new club in the city; it is here that she meets South Africa’s no.1 celebrity model Nat Masilo (Maponyane) or as she nicknames him « The 45 Foot Man » on account of a huge billboard in which he features (in)conveniently situated directly opposite her bookshop.
Two different worlds collide in this charming, funny, romantic and very sweet film showing a side of Johannesburg that is rarely seen: The City of Gold as a City Of Love. Will they or won’t they? As Moratiwa says to Nat: « I am writing a love story. » Nat says: « Will they get together? » Moratiwa replies ‘I haven’t written the ending yet « .
The film was funded by Mvest Media (a division of Mvest Group), Ladies & Gentlemen, The National Film and Video Foundation, PANA TV, the Gauteng Film Commission, the Department of Trade and Industry, and a team of Crowd Funders.
« Tell Me Sweet Something »: She’s a writer with lovers block.
The film is scheduled for a nationwide release on the 4th September 2015.
