Paulo Alberton and Graeme Reid's Dark and Lovely, Soft and Free seems too simply intentioned to go off track. But if you're traversing South Africa to interview hairdressers in the townships, there's plenty of opportunity for unexpected adventure. Alberton and Reid's van breaks down; they go to remote areas where subjects decide not to talk. But the innocence of their mission transforms the documentary into a funny and touching evocation of post-apartheid life, the remarkably blasé hairdressers they do contact have found ways to weave themselves into a turbulent society. editor@villagevoice.com
