South African film “Catching Feelings” made its world premiere with a sold-out screening at the LA Film Festival. It’s a dark romantic comedy that follows an urbane young academic and his beautiful wife as their lives get turned upside down when a celebrated and hedonistic older writer moves into their Johannesburg home with them.
The film stars comedian/writer/director Kagiso Lediga (“Bunny Chow Know Thyself”), Pearl Thusi (“Quantico”), Andrew Buckland (“Shot Down”), Precious Makgaretsa (Biltzpatrollie”), and Akin Omotoso (“Vaya”).
In “Catching Feelings,” Max Matshane (Lediga) is a 34-year-old author who wrote a South African bestseller in his 20’s, though his star is now on the wane. He teaches creative writing at the local university and lives in a Johannesburg suburb with his hot reporter wife, Sam (Thusi).
