Haven't seen the Wayword Cloud.

But today I watched Yeelen (1987) and The Constant Gardener (2005). Not to say I was in an African mood, but that's just what I ended up with. Yeelen was clearly the better of the two films, evoking a much more impassioned Africa, whereas The Constant Gardener fell prey to the racist ideology that the two main characters in any African film have to be white. I was just generally bored with the film and felt nothing for the exploited. Fiennes and Wiesz did great work however, but good acting can't always carry a movie.
