The most beautiful people are actually animals – this is proven by the cult classic documentary by director Jamie Uys, the creator of the timeless comedy The Gods Must Be Crazy. In the distant year of 1974. An unusual documentary about African animals was the most-watched film in Zagreb’s cinemas, even surpassing Spielberg’s Jaws. The hilarious scenes in which the animals inhabiting the African deserts of Kalahari and Namib, as well as the Okavango River delta, behave like humans have amused generations of adults and children. Uys spent four years creating Those Wonderful Creatures, using over 150,000 meters of film tape in the process. Winner of the Golden Globe in 1974. for Best Documentary, That Wonderful Creatures is both entertaining and touching, connecting animal behavior with human emotions and celebrating the fragile beauty of the wilderness to the rhythms of classical music.
