About Farewell Ella Bella
For Ella, the death of her alcoholic father leaves her with nothing but debt and the bitter memory of a complicated past. Abandoned by her mother at a young age, she has sacrificed her life, opportunities, and love to care for a man she resents, but is now left adrift in the world after his passing. The re-emergence of her nomadic godfather at her father’s cremation gives Ella the opportunity to discover a better future for herself in Johannesburg.
Directed by Lwazi Mvusi, Farewell Ella Bella leans on a strong ensemble — Jay Anstey, Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, Lionel Newton — 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 drama titles of 2018.
