The other week I re watched Reuben, Reuben. loosely-based on Dylan Thomas. Black Butterflies more accurately chronicles the life of Ingrid Jonker, the South African Sylvia Plath. There are similarities to be sure, although Jonker was more politically engaged. In all
fairness, Plath did not have to contend with apartheid.
Below are a few links to the movie, Jonker and her poetry (knowing German, I can figure out Afrikaans well enough). I included a link to the actor who plays Ingrid, Carice van Houten, who was the Countess von Stauffenberg in Valkyrie.
A good movie, and i will rad some more of her poetry.
