		Country of My Skull, as I read it, works towards transcendence of histories of displacement and dispossession, and participates in the project of imagining new psychological states and topographies in which selfhood, both individual and collective, can be understood in more enabling, inclusive, and less threatened and threatening ways.
		My insistent use of spatial and territorial tropes is largely dictated by the context itself.
		Country of My Skull, as its title suggests, foregrounds the interrelations between the topographical, the national and the corporeal; the borders of each, in narrative, psychological and substantive terms become the subject of enquiry and the object of reclamation, redefinition and ‘description’ in de Certeau’s sense.

	Whose "Country" Is It Anyway?
		Mediocre as it is, the potential for "Country" to be something extraordinary was within Boormanâs grasp, if only he had taken the path less followed.
		"Country" is about White guilt over Black death, a familiar strain of entertainment weâve been seeing for years, only recently countered by the phenomenal "Hotel Rwanda." Here, itâs the true story of Antjie Krog, the White South African journalist/poet who covered the post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Trials for radio.
		As portrayed by actress Juliette Binoche, Antjie (called Anna in the film) is a rebel among her family, who regard the fall of apartheid as "open season on Whites" with the same contempt as southern White families regarded the Civil War.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'In My Country'
		"In My Country" is the kind of serious, intelligent probing of the work of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, set up by the government in 1996 to investigate human rights abuses under apartheid, that one would expect from a director of the caliber of John Boorman.
		"In My Country" is a thoughtful, wholly worthy endeavor of considerable craftsmanship and skill, which is also very tough going, not merely because of the bleakness of its subject but also because of the way in which its story is told.
		Set nearly a decade ago, "In My Country" finds Binoche's Anna — an Afrikaner poet and a daughter of landed gentry who is preparing to cover the commission hearings for South African state radio and NPR — clashing almost immediately with the Washington Post's Langston Whitfield (Jackson).

		Krog published Country of My Skull in South Africa before the Commission completed its work and before it released its own five volume, 2,738-page report to President Nelson Mandela in October 1998.
		Krog, a South African who loves her country and comprehends the significance of the Commission's work, writes with a passion and eloquence that makes her work essential reading.
		Of the myriad "truth commissions" in various countries during the last two decades-principally in Africa and Latin America-the TRC was unique in its importance.

		There were also at least two bits that my brother and I found quote-worthy on the way out of the theater, which isn't bad for a movie aimed at kids less than half my age.
		My brother points out that the theaters in Falmouth, ME are cheaper when he goes home, but also readily admits that they suck relative to the presentation in Boston.
		Indeed, that scene where he's watching her while talking to a nine-year-old boy he meets up on the roof is the fulcrum on which the movie rests; he looks like the devil himself but is in many ways a confused kid struggling to become a man his father can be proud of.

		Certainly, those issues are all over "In My Country," a fictional film based on the nonfiction book "Country of My Skull: Guilt, Sorrow, and the Limits of Forgiveness in the New South Africa" by Afrikaans poet and journalist Antjie Krog.
		When Anna and Langston meet, sparks begin to fly as he challenges her to defend her people in light of the terrible horrors of torture, mutilation and murder that are being uncovered day after day in the hearings.
		And a couple of plot twists later, "In My Country" ends with a sudden burst of violence, which seems to be a rather fitting, if nihilistic, way to end a botched film.

		Although In My Country is charged with moments of grace and feeling, the film is ultimately betrayed by the clunky Jackson-Binoche romance.
		In My Country doesn't so much explore as use the tragedy of fl South Africa to give its heroine a righteous slap of nobility.
		In My Country stands closest to "Hotel Rwanda," a similarly clumsy yet inescapably moving effort to confront the brutal consequences of colonial oppression.

		This adaptation of Antjie Krog's autobiographical book "Country of My Skull" is filled with such wrong-headed Hollywood conventions.
		Instead, he finds himself drawn to the idealistic and optimistic Anna, who believes the hearings are a crucial part of her country's healing process.
		"In My Country" is rated R for some strong scenes of violence (shootings, as well as graphic descriptions of atrocities), occasional use of strong sexual profanity, racial epithets and crude sexual slang terms, a brief sex scene, and some brief gore.

	dOc DVD Review: In My Country (2004)
		Things aren't that much different with the release of In My Country, known elsewhere as Country of My Skull, the original title of the book on which the film is loosely based.
		Binoche plays Anna Malan, essentially a fictional version of Country of My Skull author Antjie Krog, here playing a woman full of suppressed revulsion at her own country, while she is torn between absolute disgust and a sense of what was done was out of her control.
		The two leads are not to blame, Binoche is sweetly doe-eyed and emotionally torn between her life and her country, and there are very few unwatchable Jackson performances.

		Not so "In My Country," or "Country of My Skull" as it was being called even at the time of trade screenings 15 months ago.
		The two journalists meet in December 1995 and squabble in such didactic terms that they're less like people with points of view than they are puppets with platforms.
		The only other moments that drag "In My Country" out doleful lifelessness are those in which Langston interviews De Jager (Brendan Gleeson), a police officer with a dreadful reputation.
