About The Angel, the Bicycle and the Chinaman's Finger
Based on Nicholas Ellenbogen's play of A Nativity, the trilingual (Afrikaans, English and Zulu) film tells a hilarious story about a government backed effort to put on a multiracial production of a play production of a nativity play by the local post office's staff in a tiny backwater village, on the eve of the new democracy.
Directed by Nicholas Ellenbogen, Koos Roets, The Angel, the Bicycle and the Chinaman's Finger leans on a strong ensemble — Brendan Grealy, Ellis Pearson, Madoda Ncayiyana — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1992.
